Product Profile: DuraTip Ultrasonic Inserts 

Like-new performance, again and again


Parkell’s insert engineers, in collaboration with a team of hygienists, devoted thousands of hours to create DuraTip ultrasonic inserts that achieve optimal performance for the entire 3 mm of tip wear.

Tip wear can affect the efficiency and performance of an ultrasonic insert. Traditionally, when the insert tip loses 1 mm of length from wear, it results in approximately 25% loss of scaling efficiency. When wear reaches 2 mm, efficiency is reduced by 50%.

The consequences of tip wear can be severe, causing harm and discomfort to both patients and clinicians. For the clinician, applying increased pressure to the insert to remove calculus lowers the energy transfer, resulting in diminished cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

Parkell’s patented technology and ability to maintain peak performance for an entire 3 mm of tip wear makes DuraTip inserts well suited for every stage of patient care, while also offering dental professionals the advantage of being able to stay on schedule, maintain their reputation and provide exceptional treatment.

The insert’s excellence is achieved through novel patented internal geometries at the tip and connecting body, and better energy transfer and durability across an innovative W-stack design for optimized performance and effective deposit removal. While traditional stacks are prone to bending, which leads to a decrease in efficiency and effectiveness, DuraTip’s stack design provides greater rigidity and stability over time.

The inserts are designed and manufactured in the United States and are available in two options, 30K universal slim and 30K perio slim.
