Frequently asked questions
Does the detachable shaft simplify the cleaning process?
Yes. The instrument features a specialized back hammer mechanism that allows the crossbar to detach from the shank. This design significantly eases the sterilization process and ensures you can thoroughly manage the instrument between procedures.
How does the TiN coating improve the instrument's longevity?
The premium black Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating provides several long-term benefits:
- Increased Durability: Protects the underlying stainless steel from wear.
- Enhanced Smoothness: Ensures a smoother action during operation.
- Reduced Maintenance: It helps maintain the edge of the tip longer, which significantly reduces the need for frequent re-sharpening.
