Product: Harmony Ergonomic Scaler

The Harmony Ergonomic Scalers and Curettes from Hu-Friedy are designed with TrueFit Technology line. Developed with 30 different working end options in mind – including Sickles, Universals and Graceys – these scalers are designed for optimal ergonomics.

If you find this hand scaling solution comfortable to manoeuvre and roll, it could be due to the rounded handle which transitions smoothly to the functional shank. Or it could be a function of the more than 2.8 million data points that were purportedly measured so that this handle adapts to the operator’s individual grasp.

The design decreases pinch force by up to 65% that helps to alleviate hand fatigue and injury risk caused by repetitive motions. In terms of patient comfort, the pressure exerted on tooth has also been reduced by 37%.

The recessed double-helix texture of the metal handle is designed for optimal tactile sensitivity and to reduce tactile fatigue. The geometric pattern of the silicone grip has been extended by 30%, which makes for a better grip and secure grasp in all directions.

The instrument features EverEdge 2.0 working ends, which the company says are 72% sharper than the next leading competitor.

This is said to allow for efficient removal of calculus, while requiring less pressure to do the work more comfortably.
