If you are a left-handed dental professional searching for an instrument that will cut plaster, acrylics or metal alloys, then Komet USA has the right burs for you.
Komet USA offers eight different instruments that allow left-handed operators to ergonomically cut material efficiently and precisely. Standard cutters only cut efficiently if rotating to the right. That means only right-handed users can work toward their body, and left-handed users must awkwardly perform the same technique in the opposite direction.
By using Komet's left-handed cutters, designed to rotate to the left, left-handed users can now ergonomically work toward their body, the company noted.
The left-handed instruments available from Komet are:
- H79SGEL.104.070 -- super coarse carbide cutter for rough trimming of plaster during model fabrication or of denture bases
- H261EL.104.023 -- carbide cutter for fine or interdental trimming of acrylics, plaster, and metal alloys during model casting, crown-and-bridge, and acrylic techniques
- H79EL.104.040 -- carbide cutter for universal trimming of acrylics, plaster, and metal alloys during model casting, crown-and-bridge, and acrylic techniques, as well as model fabrication
- H251EL.104.060 -- popular carbide cutter shape especially designed for trimming acrylics dentures
- H295EL.104.023 -- carbide cutter that is mainly used for trimming of metal surfaces during model casting and crown-and-bridge techniques
- H79EFL.104.040 -- carbide cutter for fine trimming of acrylics and metal alloys during model casting and crown-and-bridge techniques
- 329L.104 and 305L.104 -- stainless steel mandrels with left-handed threads to be used with polishers
Komet's left-handed cutters provide an unobstructed view of the surface being worked on, and all chips and dust are directed toward the suction device at the workstation. All instruments are identified with the word "left" laser-etched on the shank.
To use these specialty instruments, users are instructed to switch all handpieces to a left-hand motion, the company noted.
