SONICflex quick 2008 (Mat. no. 1.005.9311)
SONICflex quick 2008 L (Mat. no. 1.005.9310)
Product description 15

The SONICflex is a dental handpiece in accordance with ISO 15606. The
vibrations are generated by a rotating steel sleeve. In combination with
the different KaVo tips, an oscillating elliptical tip motion is generated for
the respective application. The internal water cooling (spray cooling) pre‐
vents the treatment field from heating up, and keeps the treatment sur‐
face clean.
Note
The device should be operated with the described operating pressure.
After starting, the intensity can be regulated using the foot switch at
maximum drive pressure.
