When you think of professionals who rely on their hands to get the job done, you might name construction workers, plumbers, surgeons, bakers or cosmetologists. But dental professionals are also in that group, and because of the nature of the job, are susceptible to the chronic pain that can come from carpal tunnel, osteoarthritis and tendonitis. Those conditions can sideline a dentist the same as they can sideline a surgeon or pipefitter.
That’s why it’s important for practices to use ergonomically designed tools that can minimize staff members’ risk of developing or worsening these conditions. One such ergonomically designed tool is the CoMax composite dispenser from AdDent, which, with its patented design, only requires only one-hand control to fully express composite compules. The trigger is easy to hold, and the force it requires to express the composite is less than other dispensers, even though it wastes less composite than other dispensers. In fact, Dental Product Shopper evaluators gave the CoMax a 4.1, and CoMax was named a recommended product.
CoMax isn’t just designed well, it’s made well. The completely autoclavable CoMax is constructed from high-tech plastic and stainless steel, so it lasts longer than its resin-constructed peers, without compromising on safety. In fact, CoMax comes with a two-year warranty, a time period during which most practices go through up to four dispensers.
The CoMax can also be a timesaver. If you already have the AdDent Calset Tri-Tray, you can pick up the warmed compule without touching it. However, the CoMax will work with most compule models.
If you already have chronic hand pain, using a tool like this can make your job easier. If you don’t, the CoMax can help delay or ward off conditions like carpal tunnel. Visit addent.com/comax to learn more about the CoMax composite dispenser.
