Parkell Introduces DuraTip Ultrasonic Inserts

Parkell has developed DuraTip® ultrasonic inserts, setting a new industry standard for performance longevity.

Addressing Long-standing Tip Issue

The issue of insert tip wear is a widely recognised concern in dental care. Traditionally, when an insert tip loses 1 mm of length from wear, there’s a roughly 25% loss in scaling efficiency. At 2 mm of wear, efficiency drops by a staggering 50%. Clinicians often resort to applying additional pressure when inserts wear down, mistakenly thinking this will compensate for the loss of effectiveness. However, this added force reduces the vibration of the tip, making the insert even less efficient.

Tip wear has significant consequences for both patients and clinicians. Patients may experience increased discomfort and pain during procedures when using worn inserts. Clinicians, in their attempts to remove stubborn deposits, may inadvertently put their hand and wrist at risk by applying excessive force, leading to hand strain, wrist fatigue, and even carpal tunnel syndrome.

DuraTip: The Solution

Parkell’s DuraTip inserts challenge this status quo by maintaining peak performance for an unprecedented 3 mm of tip wear. This patented technology, ensuring optimal performance throughout the insert’s life, is ideal for every stage of patient care. With DuraTip, clinicians can stay on schedule, maintain their stellar reputation, and provide exceptional treatment.

Advancements in Ultrasonic Insert Design

DuraTip’s innovation is achieved through novel patented internal geometries at the tip and connecting body, delivering unrivalled energy transfer and durability through an innovative W-stack design. This design minimises the risk of damage during handling and instrument processing, providing greater rigidity and stability over time compared to traditional stacks.
