product profi le partner content ProMate CL Minimize the risk of musculoskeletal disorders Most hygienists suffer from work-related injuries-predominantly musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)-because of repetitive movements, prolonged static postures and constant muscle leveraging in the hands and wrists. A 2016 comprehensive study in the Canadian Journal of Dental Hygiene found that 92% of dental professionals experience some form of MSDs. The ProMate CL cordless hygiene handpiece is engineered to address the risk of MSDs. It features an ultralight cordless body to provide freedom from heavy cord drag to reduce hand and wrist fatigue and lower the operator's risk of MSDs. It is weight-balanced to eliminate unnecessary leverage during procedures and improves intraoral access. ProMate CL features a dual-mode speed control with six speed settings (up to 4,000 rpm) that can be changed with the handpiece's button or the wireless foot pedal. The handpiece includes an autoclavable outer sheath that meets the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's guidelines for sterilization and infection control. A disposable barrier sleeve may also be used to cover the handpiece's inner module to protect it from oral fl uids. The handpiece is compatible with most disposable prophy angles.
