Komet USA has released a new size of its cutters with NE toothing, designed to work on nonprecious alloys.
The H89NE.104.040 instrument joins six other cutters with NE toothing currently available: H79NE.104.040, H138NE.104.023, H139NE.104.023, H129NE.104.023, H251NE.104.060, and H77NE.104.023.
Prosthetics made from nonprecious metal alloys require more extensive recontouring than those made from precious alloys. With their unique blade configuration, the cutters with NE toothing minimize the recontouring time required, Komet said in a press release.
The company said the new cutters can easily remove large sprues, metal crowns, and cast metal framework. The cutters with NE toothing, made from tungsten carbide, are easily recognizable by their "aggressive appearance," according to Komet. When used properly, they will maintain a longer service life than traditional laboratory carbides, the company said.
To complement the cutters with NE toothing, Komet also offers cutters with NEF toothing with a multitude of ergonomically designed, nick-free cutting blades that produce an ideal surface finish on nonprecious alloys. Despite their cutting capabilities, the chrome cobalt model cast frames of the NEF toothing cutters, recognized by their red and green rings, have a highly smooth surface, so minimal polishing is necessary, said Komet.
Additionally, the unique blade design creates less vibration, resulting in less operator fatigue, according to the press release. It added that tiny metal fragments created by the cutting process are virtually harmless and nonirritating to the skin.
