Hu-Friedy’s SWERV3 Power Scaler Debuts at California Dental Association Meeting
Earns Praise From Dental Hygienists
CHICAGO, IL – June 14, 2010 –Hu-Friedy, a global leader in the manufacture of dental instruments, launched its sophisticated, user-friendly magnetostrictive ultrasonic scaler, SWERV3 at the California Dental Association Meeting in Anaheim in May. The compact easy-to-use scaler, designed for the comfort of dental professionals and their patients, was enthusiastically endorsed by dental professionals who tested it at the Hu-Friedy booth.
April Fifield, RDH, noticed the lightweight and well-balanced hand-piece, which features a “comfort zone” grip to reduce muscle strain. She said she would switch from the power scaler she currently uses in her practice to the SWERV3 because “it is easy to use and offers a convenient design. It’s nice and light and places less stress on my wrist, arm, and hand.”
The SWERV3 also offers a smooth touch pad control panel and color-coded lighted displays, including a visual queue for identification of current settings. Fifield said she likes the digital technology and controls because “they eliminate any question about where anything is located.” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHlQTcR44po).
Another visitor to the Hu-Friedy booth, Sharon L. Weaver, RDH, also praised the SWERV3: “I like the fact that it’s quieter, and if there’s less vibration for the patient, it will be more comfortable for them.” Weaver said that its greater comfort means “it will be used more frequently, yielding an almost immediate return on investment.” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZVc630YC6E).
