The proprietary ergonomic grip increases the clinician’s rotational control and allows for a light, yet secure grasp to improve paste delivery and reduce hand fatigue. The premium cup with internal spiral design and smooth exterior provides superior paste delivery and greater interproximal reach while reducing splatter.
Available in soft and firm cup options, Hu-Friedy Disposable Prophy Angles are not made with natural rubber latex and are compatible with the most common low-speed handpieces. The contra angle style has a unique 15-degree angle bend mid-body to allow for a more comfortable neutral wrist position, providing an ergonomic advantage for both clinician and patient.
