Infinity Cuts the Cord, Adds the Ergonomics
A versatile, ergonomic cordless handpiece with a long battery life offers efficiency, flexibility, and comfort for hygienists and patients
What’s the first instrument dental hygienists reach for at the start of each day—and the last one they store away? It’s likely the handpiece, a dental staple that’s the cornerstone of every hygiene treatment. For Monica Rogers, BSDH, RDH, of Seneca Family Dentistry, Wichita, KS, the choice of a hygiene handpiece came down to performance and comfort—for her pati
ents and for herself. “I purchased the Infinity about a year ago, and I now use it exclusively. It’s lightweight, balanced, and feels good in the hand,” said Rogers. The Infinity Cordless Hygiene Handpiece takes 2 of the industry’s most-sought-after features—a lighter weight and a cordless design—and blends them into one convenient handpiece. Infinity includes a cordless floor pedal for increased range of motion and mobility, and weighs in at a mere 4 oz. The quiet and smooth operation also reduces patient anxiety. “I find Infinity to be helpful for polishing wiggly children, patients with special needs, and those who are unable to recline well,” Rogers shared.
An Ergonomic Choice
In addition to being lighter and quieter, the cordless design makes it an ergonomic choice for hygienists, many of whom struggle with physical discomfort from repetitive musculoskeletal stressors. “I felt bound up by the cords that were constantly tugging at my wrist,” Rogers explained. “This lack of ergonomics was causing me physical stress and discomfort. The Infinity relieved some of the tension in my muscles because it’s so light and well-balanced.”
Safety and Compatibility
Compatible with virtually all Doriot-style disposable prophy angles, the handpiece includes 3 autoclavable nosecones and 25 disposable barrier sleeves for CDC-compliant infection control. “It can accept any prophy angle, which allows me to choose my favorite cup or brush based on each patient’s needs,” Rogers said.
Strong Battery Life
The handpiece can operate at full charge for 3 hours, 20 minutes, which is 4 times the battery life of the leading cordless handpiece. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery is ready to go in just 90 minutes. "It charges quickly, and because I don't need to constantly reposition a cord, polishing is faster and more efficient. It glides from tooth to tooth with ease," concluded Rogers.
