Effective January 20, Patterson Dental became the sole national distributor of the ProDrive System, a handpiece upgrade, ProDrive Systems announced. Patterson already has an exclusive agreement to distribute ProDrive products in Canada.
The ProDrive System is designed as a performance upgrade to current handpieces in the dental office. Unlike traditional friction grip burs with a round shank, ProDrive features a triangular shank designed to lock the bur and turbine together to prevent burs from slipping. This allows faster, smoother cutting, superior control and improved precision, according to the company.
ProDrive also features as bur-lengthening feature that locks into place and allows the bur to be extended by 3mm for difficult to reach areas, ProDrive said.
