Dentistry - scaler tubing

Scaler – hand dental instrument (Symmetry IQ 4000 / Hu-Friedy Manufacturing Company)

In prophylactic dentistry, a scaler is primarily used to remove tartar. A PharMed® Peristaltik Tubing inner Ø 1.75 mm x outer Ø 3.43 mm is installed to convey tap water. The delivery rate is set via the speed of the pump.  

Case example

A dental, oral and maxillofacial doctor's office contacted us with the problem that the scaler was still working properly, but that the device manufacturer could no longer deliver an original replacement hose. The customer kindly sent us the used hose for measurement. It should be noted that the dimensions change due to wear and tear during peristaltic operation. We have sent various samples for tests, as the delivery volume of the pump depends on the exact hose dimensions. We were able to determine the suitable replacement product and the scaler can continue to be operated with the usual performance.
