What does the bIONIK handle offer? The bIONIK handle is designed for ergonomic grip, reducing operator fatigue and improving tactile control during restorative procedures.

Is this instrument suitable for direct composite restorations? Yes, this Dental Composite Filling Instrument Spatula is well-suited for direct composite placement, adaptation, and surface contouring in restorative dentistry.

Design Notes

Nanopal® coating: the black crystalline nano-coating raises surface hardness to 4,500 Vickers — the highly tempered cutting edge stays aggressive and sharp far longer and does not need resharpening after each curettage, while the scratch-resistant black surface is easy to clean and prevents light reflections.
