CHICO, CA – October 21, 2004 – Lares Research, a leader in high-speed miniaturization since 1979, has developed new high-speed handpieces that are exceptionally light and also offer increased power levels. The new Ultralite line includes both the 557 and the 757 high-speed handpieces, which deliver impressive levels of cutting power. The 757 offers 20.8 watts, which is the highest in the industry and a 26% increase over the previous 757 model. The 557 Ultralite offers a significant 15.3 watts of cutting power. Both have an on-board power maximizer valve that optimizes the cutting power, which safeguards against over pressure.
The Ultralite handpieces are precision machined from the world’s lightest weight structural alloy, which is 38% lighter than Titanium. The 557 Ultralite™ features a small head for superior accessibility and weighs only 31 grams. The 757 Ultralite™ offers a light-weight full-size head and still weighs only 35 grams. The 757 Ultralite is also equipped with a triple post spray for enhanced cooling.
The handpieces also feature dual-beam optics for shadow-free illumination, push-button bur changing with Carbide SuperChuck™, and a very secure grip made from a proprietary space-age coating that provides added stain and corrosion resistance. Lares also lowered the already quiet performance of the handpiece line without sacrificing any of the cutting power.
Lares Research manufactures Nd:YAG Lasers, high-speed and low-speed handpieces, the Apex Electric Handpiece System and air abrasion products. For more information call 800-347-3289 or visit www.laresdental.com.
