The ultrasonic scaler is the workhorse of the hygiene appointment—a tool that most hygienists couldn’t imaging practicing without. And, when it comes to Parkell’s TurboSensor, one that has powered dental cleanings for nearly 20 years. Here, we sit down with Tim Haberstumpf, Parkell’s VP of Marketing & Global Distributor Sales, to chat about the all-new TurboSensor+ and what hygienists and dentists can expect from this exciting new scaler., , , A:TurboSensor is known in the industry as an intuitive scaler that prioritizes patient comfort and clinician convenience, with a reputation for being a cost-efficient workhorse. Throughout the years, customers have reached out to us and let us know that they have had the same scaler for over 15 years. That level of quality and reliability is unbeatable! Now, we have incorporated all the qualities clinicians love and rely on into the TurboSensor+ ultrasonic scaler, along with several exciting new updates. As with all Parkell devices, everything is designed,
manufactured, and serviced in the United States., , ,A:First off, TurboSensor+ is built around a new IntelliSense processor to ensure it provides top-level, consistent performance with all market-leading 30K inserts. It also features a new detachable, autoclavable, 30K handpiece. Secondly, it includes a new tap-on “purge” mode for waterline cleansing and a new “priming” mode for preparing the handpiece to begin scaling with the first compression of the foot pedal. Setup has been streamlined thanks to easy-to-assemble components, and a superior water flow system offers improved aerosol management. Additionally, because Parkell always strives to provide customizable solutions for all dental professionals, the new TurboSensor+ ultrasonic scaler is being offered in a variety of vibrant colors to complement the style and personality of every office—including pearl, midnight blue, tangerine, lilac, and electric blue., , , ,A:It was important for us to address the safety concerns and feedback from dental professionals and help reduce crosscontamination from patient to patient, while also making it easier to adhere to CDC and state guidelines surrounding infection control. The detachable autoclavable 30K handpiece does just that by effortlessly enhancing instrument reprocessing, cleanliness, and disinfection. The detachable handpiece includes a watertight, quick-lock snap connector to decrease the time it takes to remove the handpiece from the unit. It also has an ergonomic design for superior comfort and control. It is the perfect size to create a near-seamless transition between the end of the handpiece and the grip on most comfort-style inserts.
