BIENNE, Switzerland—In response to public health authorities’ growing concern over patient  burns  caused by  electric  dental  handpieces,  Swiss   medical   technologies   company  Bien-Air Dental S.A. has introduced EVO.15.

In procedures making use of electric handpieces, the briefest 12-newton contact between the instrument’s push-button and the patient’s inner-cheek causes the former to overheat, resulting in possible  burn injuries.

“While overheating can be an indication of a damaged or clogged instrument, laboratory evaluations reveal that this hazard is just as prevalent in new and properly-maintained handpieces,” said Clémentine Favre, laboratory and validation manager for EVO.15.

Favre also stated that that the most severe cases have caused third-degree burns requiring reconstructive surgery thereby likely subjecting the practitioner to lengthy legal actions.

Equipped with patented COOLTOUCH+ heat-arresting technology, EVO.15 is proven never to exceed human body temperature. After years of research and development, it is engaged  to protect both the patient and the clinician during some of the profession’s most frequently performed procedures.

Additionally, EVO.15 features a considerably smaller and lighter shockproof head and premieres technological innovations ranging from a new spray/illumination system to an improved bur-locking system.
