The Lares Research Apex™ Electric Handpiece System delivers consistently high torque throughout its entire speed range, providing increased efficiency and greater productivity. An electric feedback system detects load at the bur and automatically increases voltage to the motor to keep bur speed constant. The result is smooth, efficient cutting with less vibration, which is easier on the operator, saves time, and improves patient comfort. Lower frequency gearing sounds eliminate the usual air highspeed whine that is irritating to staff and patients. The Apex Electric Handpiece System provides twice the cutting power of a typical highspeed handpiece, with more torque and minimal rotation. This allows the operator to control depth of cut, movement of the handpiece, placement of margins, and ultimate shape of the preparation.
The Apex system is compact and portable, and easily adapts to standard 4-hole tubing, so it can be installed on the existing dental unit. Contra angles are color-coded and can be quickly changed by simply pulling off one angle, then pushing the new angle on and twisting it slightly to lock it into place. Clinicians can select from a wide range of different speed range contra angles. The Apex Electric Handpiece System is compatible with all International E-Type coupling motors.
