Award-Winning Handle Design
The bIONIK handle won the Red Dot Design Award in 2010, the year of its launch. The jury of the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Essen, Germany, honored the bIONIK handle’s ergonomic design, high-tech material, and exceptional lightness and durability.
Design Notes
The M5 design: the first shank is about 3 mm longer than standard and the sharpened working end is shortened, with a 0.95 mm thin, flexible and therefore highly tactile first shaft — built for special subgingival curettage in tight, deep pockets (beyond 5 mm) and along narrow root surfaces.
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.
