3M ESPE has introduced the Pentamix Lite automatic mixing unit, a portable mixer that works with all 3M ESPE impression materials.
The unit's lightweight and integrated handgrip make it easy to carry from operatory to operatory, and its compact design saves space when the device is in standby position, according to the company. Also, it enables hygienic direct filling of trays and syringes without the risk of cross-contamination.
"The Pentamix Lite automatic mixing unit allows offices to start automatic mixing almost as soon as the device is out of the box," said Mark Cotton, marketing manager for 3M ESPE. "A staff member simply needs to plug in the mixing unit, insert a foil bag of impression material into the universal cartridge, put the cartridge in the unit, attach a mixing tip, and start filling the tray or syringe."
The unit works with all 3M ESPE impression materials, including Imprint 4 VPS impression material and Impregum soft polyether impression material.
3M ESPE will showcase the new mixing unit at the Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting, February 20-22, in booths 3425 and 3625 at Chicago's McCormick Place West.
