Hu-Friedy has introduced a 25K version of its Swivel XT ultrasonic insert line, designed to reach and remove debris from interproximal and subgingival areas.
The 30K Swivel XT was introduced in December 2010.
Traditionally, thin inserts are recommended for light deposit removal. But subgingival deposits are often times tenacious and very difficult to remove, the company noted.
Hu-Friedy's Swivel XT is thin enough to clean subgingivally and interproximally but can also remove moderate to tenacious calculus at lower power settings. The Swivel XT features a large-diameter grip that maximizes clinician comfort and enhances tactile sensitivity, according to Hu-Friedy.
