Piezo Ultrasonic Scaler US30 Amdent Sweden

The Amdent US30 is a new piezoelectric scaler manufactured in Sweden by Amdent AB and marketed in the United States by Biotrol International. The external case of the US30 consists of an upper and lower assembly. The upper assembly is a one-piece, high-density composite material that is smooth and devoid of any openings. This design prevents aerosols or disinfectants from penetrating the inner workings of the unit. The lower assembly is constructed of a polyvinylchloride-coated aluminum frame. Each of the control knobs that protrude from various locations on the external case has a removable and fully autoclavable silicone cover.

Amdent's solution for speeding-up tip changing and enhancing infection control is the Quick-a-Tip handpiece system. The Quick-a-Tip is an integrated tip and removable handle. It is comprised of an autoclavable, high-density, plastic handle and stainless-steel working end. It is attached by rotating the threaded Quick-a-Tip over the corded handpiece. Near the working end of the Quick-a-Tip is a silicone rubber grip that is said to reduce operator fatigue by acting as a vibration damper and to allow a better purchase on the handle. Three Quick-a-Tips and two sets of autoclavable knob covers are included with each US30. A conventional corded foot switch is used to activate the unit when powered. The US30 is compact. It measures 2 inches high by 5 inches wide by 8 inches deep and weighs just 3.5 pounds. The scaler is configured for 120 volts and is ETL listed and CE marked.

As an option, the unit can be equipped with an endodontic function that reduces the power to it by 50% over the entire range so it can be used during endodontic therapy. Optional Quick-a-Tip fileholders are available in increments of 70-, 90-, and 110-degrees. Also available are Quick-a-Tips for condensing amalgam and cementing crowns and inlays.
