ORTHO INDUSTRY NEWS Electrosurge Device Safe & Easy to Use Parkell, Inc. released its newest product recently, the Sensimatic™ 700SE Electrosurge. The Sensimatic 700SE is user-friendly. Its power switch, operation modes and power output (10 levels available) are all located on the display panel. The unit’s low-impedance circuitry adjusts the power level to compensate for tissue depth variations during operation. When coupled with the electrosurge’s stable voltage circuitry, the result is superb, constant cutting efficiency. The newest electrosurge unit is safe to use and has all of the safety features found in the Sensimatic 600SE, including the unit’s special electronic circuit to protect against electrical malfunction. It does this by comparing the electrode output with the control settings—if there’s any discrepancy, it will quickly and safely deactivate the unit. An LED light on the display panel plus an audible toneis now included to signify when the unit’s output is active.For more information, please contact Parkell, Inc. at (800) 243-7446. Primer Releases Fluoride Opal Seal is a revolutionary 38% filled primer that releases and recharges fluoride throughout an orthodontic treatment. Filled with nano and glass ionomer particles, Opal Seal offers strong, long-lasting coverage and excellent mechanical retention. Opal Seal contains a drying agent to chase moisture and draw fluoride-containing resin into etched enamel for enhanced bonds and fluoride uptake. The unique tip employs a spiral canal to deliver resin in a thin uniform layer. Opal Seal’s non-yellowing formulation cures translucent and is detectable under a UV black light to facilitate removal and re-application. 10 November/December 2010 JAOS
