DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties Introduces FRIOS® Unit S/i Implant Motor

Tulsa, Okla. – DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties, a division of DENTSPLY International Inc. (Nasdaq: XRAY) this week introduced the FRIOS Unit S/i which gives practitioners an additional tool to support their expertise in placing dental implants.
 
The FRIOS Unit S/i delivers unparalleled form and function into one implant motor system by combining a large, high contrast display and a simple operating concept with a shorter, lighter and more efficient maintenance-free surgical motor. The unit features a clearly structured program sequence – including thread tapping – which can be controlled by the press of a button or by the ergonomically designed foot control. The pushbutton tapping function is an exclusive feature of the FRIOS Unit S/i. Hex (WinCE).jpg
 
Four preset programs for all implant surgery treatment stages can be selected successively from left to right directly on the unit or with the foot control. Unlike general-use surgical units, the FRIOS Unit S/i automatically stops irrigation when using the implant placement setting, preventing irrigation fluid from wetting the growth-activating implant surfaces.
 
The ergonomically proven foot control allows users to: change programs; switch irrigation pump on and off; select clockwise or counterclockwise; and, precisely control the motor speed to the preselected maximum speed keeping hands free at all times and eliminating the need for sterile assistance.
 
The FRIOS Unit S/i delivers the best results and optimum operation by using the FRIOS WS-75 and WI-75 contra-angle handpieces. Both handpieces have a reduced head shape and a slimmer silhouette for easier handling. In addition, the intelligent head offers a patented hexagonal clamping system that makes annoying interruptions a thing of the past.
 
The WS-75 handpiece can be dismantled without tools for ease of sterilization and can rotate in steps of 90 degrees for better surgical access.  As with all FRIOS contra-angle handpieces, it can be sterilized up to 135 degrees Celsius making it easy to comply with the most rigid hygiene regulations.
