Description

Crosstex International Crosstex Twist Plus Oscillating Disposable Prophy Angles. Twist Plus is a unique disposable prophy angle that moves in a 120° reciprocating (back-and-forth) motion instead of a traditional spinning motion. This patented mechanism greatly diminishes frictional heat while reducing the spatter of prophy paste, saliva, blood and other potentially infectious materials. The innovative ergonomic design optimizes comfort as well as visibility during procedures.

Frequently asked questions

How many disposable angles are included per box?

Each box contains 100 disposable Crosstex Twist Plus Prophy Angles.

This quantity is consistent across all available configurations, which are designed to suit different prophylaxis needs:

  • Angle Firm Cup (White)
  • Angle Soft Cup (Gray)
  • Brush Tapered

This packaging ensures ease of use and minimizes cross-contamination risks in the clinical setting.

What are the benefits of the 120° reciprocating motion?

The patented 120° reciprocating (back-and-forth) motion is the core innovation of the Crosstex Twist Plus angles, providing significant clinical advantages over traditional spinning prophy angles:

  • Improved Patient Comfort: The oscillating mechanism substantially diminishes frictional heat generation during polishing procedures, enhancing comfort and safety for the patient.
  • Reduced Aerosol and Spatter: The design minimizes the spatter of materials such as prophy paste, saliva, and potentially infectious materials, which helps improve biosafety for both the patient and the dental professional.

This specialized motion also works in conjunction with the innovative ergonomic design to optimize operator visibility and comfort throughout the procedure.

What cup and brush configurations are available?

The Crosstex Twist Plus Oscillating Disposable Prophy Angles are available in three distinct configurations, designed to accommodate various professional prophylaxis requirements. All variants are supplied in boxes of 100 disposable units.

Configurations offered include:

  • Angle Firm Cup (White): Suitable for standard, robust polishing applications.
  • Angle Soft Cup (Gray): A gentler option, focused on providing enhanced patient comfort during the procedure.
  • Brush Tapered: Used for specific cleaning tasks and specialized polishing needs.
How does the 120° oscillating motion improve procedures?

The patented 120° reciprocating (oscillating) motion of the Crosstex Twist Plus significantly improves both clinical efficiency and patient experience compared to traditional continuous spinning angles:

  • Reduces Frictional Heat: The unique back-and-forth movement substantially decreases heat generation during polishing, which greatly enhances patient comfort.
  • Minimizes Spatter: This mechanism actively reduces the spatter of prophy paste, saliva, blood, and other potentially infectious materials, contributing to a cleaner and safer operatory environment.
  • Optimizes Ergonomics: This motion works alongside the innovative design to enhance operator comfort and improve visibility throughout the dental procedure.
Does the ergonomic design improve visibility?

Yes, the Crosstex Twist Plus is specifically engineered with an innovative ergonomic design to optimize both visibility and comfort for the dental professional.

Key benefits of this design include:

  • Enhanced Visual Access: The angle improves visibility to the working area, complemented by a smaller head size for greater maneuverability.
  • Operator Comfort: The contoured body is shaped to maximize comfort during lengthy procedures.
  • Cleaner Field of View: The unique, patented 120° oscillating motion further aids visibility by significantly reducing spatter of prophy paste, saliva, and other clinical materials.
Does the 120° motion reduce frictional heat?

Yes, the Crosstex Twist Plus features a patented 120° reciprocating (oscillating) motion, which is a significant advancement over traditional spinning angles. This mechanism is designed specifically to enhance patient comfort and clinical efficiency by:

  • Minimizing Frictional Heat: The back-and-forth oscillation substantially reduces heat generation during polishing compared to traditional rotation.
  • Reducing Spatter: The mechanism minimizes the projection of prophy paste, saliva, and other materials, promoting better clinical hygiene containment.

Additionally, the angles utilize a new ergonomic design to optimize operator comfort and visibility during use.

Are the Twist Plus prophy angles disposable?

Yes, the Crosstex Twist Plus Oscillating Prophy Angles are designed strictly for single-use (disposable).

This system ensures adherence to strict infection control protocols by eliminating the need for sterilization between patients. They are intended for professional use only and are supplied in boxes containing 100 units.

Do these prophy angles significantly reduce spatter?

Yes, the Crosstex Twist Plus Oscillating Disposable Prophy Angles are specifically designed to minimize spatter during dental prophylaxis procedures. This feature is one of their core benefits.

The reduction in spatter is a direct result of the product’s unique, patented mechanism:

  • 120° Reciprocating Motion: Unlike traditional rotary angles that spin continuously, the Twist Plus utilizes a controlled back-and-forth motion. This significantly diminishes the frictional heat generated and minimizes the dispersal of materials.
  • Enhanced Biosafety: By limiting spatter, the design helps reduce the spread of prophy paste, saliva, blood, and other potentially infectious materials, promoting a cleaner, safer clinical environment.
Does this angle feature a patented oscillating mechanism?

Yes, the Crosstex Twist Plus features a patented 1200 reciprocating motion that differentiates it from standard spinning prophy angles. This oscillating mechanism is designed to provide significant clinical advantages:

  • Enhanced Patient Comfort: The back-and-forth motion minimizes the generation of frictional heat during polishing.
  • Improved Hygiene: It significantly reduces the spatter of prophy paste, saliva, and other materials.
  • Operator Focus: The refined gear mechanism ensures smooth operation, and the ergonomic design aids in visibility and comfort.
Does the design minimize frictional heat?

Yes, the design is specifically engineered to minimize frictional heat. The Crosstex Twist Plus Angles utilize a patented 120° reciprocating motion (back-and-forth) instead of the continuous spinning of traditional angles. This unique mechanism is highly effective in decreasing frictional heat generation, which contributes to a more comfortable experience during prophylaxis procedures.
