As a dental instrument manufacturer, NSK always puts the safety of users, support staff and patients first. To ensure the safety of patients and dental practitioners, NSK offers comprehensive solutions for infection prevention—NSK’s innovative technologies that reduce the infection risks caused by contamination and aerosols generated by rotary instruments. In addition, the reprocessing instructions for NSK products cover essential maintenance steps in order to keep dental devices clean and make them safe to use.
Prevention of Entry of Contaminants into Handpieces
NSK gives you the optimum in safety with our infection prevention features, combined with the world’s most technologically advanced, award-winning handpiece design.
DualDefence™ System is the combination of NSK’s unique technologies, Our proprietary, first-in-class Clean Head System prevents foreign bodies entering the handpiece and the Anti-Retraction Valve which Valve protects against cross-contamination. Together, they provide an effective method to effectively reduce possible internal contamination. The efficiency of the DualDefence™ System has been tested and validated by well-known universities, such as the University of Washington, Umeå University in Sweden and National University of Singapore.
Micromotor Driven Instruments Generate Less Aerosols
Aerosols, generated by various types of rotary instruments, are seen as one of the possible risks that causes cross-infection in dental practices. Studies have found contra-angles produce less aerosols compared to air turbines. When contra-angles are used in combination with an electric micromotor (not an air motor) the reduction in overall aerosols is decreased further. Electric micromotors are fast becoming an essential tool in dentistry, with more practices opting to choose an electric micromotor and speed increasing contra-angle, over an air turbine high-speed handpiece. With their smooth and constant control over speed and torque, ability to reduce aerosols, and simple installation, electric micromotors such as NSK’s all new “NLZ” system are the preferred choice amongst dentist and specialists.
Speed Increasing Contra-angle with Patented Spray Switch Function
The world’s first two-way spray function allows users to simply switch between a mist or jet spray depending on the conditions and procedure. The solid water jet spray generates even less aerosol which helps reduce possible cross-infection in dental practices even further. Furthermore, the NSK Ti-Max Z95L and Z45L, with their spray switch facility, release even less aerosols compared to other types of contra-angles – this means that associated risks can be further reduced by switching off the spray air on the Ti-Max Z95L and Z45L.
NSK supports NSK users with Factory Certified Technical Service for the life of each product
The use of “homemade” tools to facilitate a repair can cause permanent damage to the product and its performance. This is why only qualified NSK Technicians, using factory specified diagnostic equipment, service tools and genuine spare parts can correctly restore NSK products to original NSK performance.
