Cordless Dental Prophy Handpieces Eliminates Pain and Increases Ergonomic Comfort

Cordless Dental Handpieces Found to Eliminate Pain and Increase Ergonomic Comfort

It is a known fact that the basic dynamics associated with ergonomic comfort for the dental specialist lies in the positioning of the professional while providing care to patients.

In addition to this, the positioning of the patient, the design of the room in which the dental practitioner works, and the equipment utilized have a relatively large impact on the physical comfort and health of the practitioner.

According to research, the pain that develops in the clinical setting is not decreasing among dental professionals; however, the recent introduction of cordless dental handpieces in the workplace may just change that fact.

The Burden of the Common Cord

As a dental professional, it is highly likely that you have found yourself experiencing the burden that often makes itself known when using your dental handpieces – the common cord. Have you ever felt the pressure that stems from a seemingly pulling of the cord while working on a patient? Have you ever found your hands and wrists becoming uncomfortable and fatigued as a result of the pressure of the cord on your dental handpieces? Have you been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome as a result of the pressure and tension that stems from the cord attached to your dental handpieces? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it is also very likely that you have secretly wished to be free from the common cord. Now, you have that ability!

The Advantages

Numerous advantages abound when it comes to cordless dental handpieces. In addition to optimal movement flexibility, these instruments are easy to utilize during procedures. It is not at all uncommon for dentist practitioners to find themselves struggling with stress in the hands and the wrists as a result of the cord and tubing attached to traditional dental handpieces; however, cordless handpieces do not result in any type of physical stress. Practitioners that use these instruments also seem to have a higher level of accessibility to their patients. This means that les effort is required in the posterior areas of the mouth when prophylaxis procedures are being performed. Finally, cordless dental handpieces eliminate the necessity for a foot pedal.

If you are not ready to take the leap, performing the standard maintenance on your traditional handpieces will prove to be helpful.
