Features

Minnow, "The Go-Anywhere Polisher" provides just the right fit into pits, fissures and tooth anatomy that larger polishers can't reach. Their small size provides an efficient and economical answer for all classes of restorations. Minnow will not crumble and break off. Two polishers are available in order to match the adjacent tooth surface, Satin and Hi-Gloss. The Satin removes scratches and imperfections for a smooth shine. The Hi-Gloss buffs the composite to a liquid luster. The Satin is always recommended to be used before the Hi-Gloss. Minnow is perfectly suited for single-patient-use and is sterilized for convenience and safety.

DESCRIPTION:

Microcopy polishers are abrasive rotary devices affixed to a plastic shank. The devices are indented to remove excessive restorative materials, such as composite. The polisher head is pre-mounted to a shank that is held by a low speed, contra-angle latch dental handpiece. There are various shapes including point, cup, disk, mini-point, and mini-cup. The devices can be used both intra-orally and extra-orally. The polishers are packed in a plastic pouch in a dedicated cleanroom facility and terminally sterilized using Gamma Irradiation  by a contract sterilizer. These burs are identified as single-use devices and NOT be re-processed and/or re-used

INDICATIONS

Microcopy devices fit into a low speed, contra-angle latch dental handpiece, which provides the rotation, allowing the user to adjust or polish materials both intra-orally and extra-orally, i.e. composite restorations

CONTRAINDICATIONS TO USE

Use of Microcopy Polishers is contraindicated on any patient who is allergic to any of the components of the product. Do not reuse. Microcopy polisher components are single use. Attempts to sterilize these products will adversely affect their performance.

CLINICAL PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS:

1. Discard any damaged Polishers immediately.
2. Microcopy Polishers are for SINGLE-PATIENT-USE ONLY, in a dental setting on teeth or dental restorations.
3. Do not use chemical or dry heat to sterilize devices, as these processes have not been validated for use

5. Always refer to the product packaging for the Maximum RPM

• Excessive rotational speed can generate high heat, which may damage the tooth, the surrounding soft tissues, or the restoration. Avoid long periods of applied pressure to avoid heat build up. Apply water spray to cool if needed.

• Operating a polisher or abrasive with too high of an RPM may cause the polisher to fail

1. Use with slow-speed, rotary contra-angle handpiece only.
2. Ensure that the Polisher is securely in the chuck of the handpiece, and perform a test run outside of the patient’s mouth before intra-oral use.
3. Excessive lateral or vertical pressure can damage the Polisher.
4. Protect patient’s eyes and vulnerable tissues when using these Polishers.
5. Clinicians should wear eye protection and facemask when using Polishers.
6. Always keep track of Lot Numbers of Polishers to ensure traceability.
7. For dentistry use only
