Equipment Features

KaVo PROPHYwiz runs smoothly, produces no vibration, and is exceptionally quiet, which optimizes patient comfort. The lightweight design and 360° swivel eliminate operator wrist and hand fatigue. The one-piece construction is especially well balanced. Hygienists and their doctors appreciated the simple integration: no need for an additional motor and simple connection to existing four-hole tubing. KaVo PROPHYwiz produces excellent torque at the recommended pressure and speed settings. The instructions for care are very simple. One hundred percent of consultants stated that KaVo PROPHYwiz was better than the hygiene handpiece they were currently using and all would recommend it to colleagues.
