The unique design of contra-angle handpieces allows for greater access to hard to reach areas of the oral cavity, and their small size allows dentists to work more efficiently in tight spaces. They also provide a higher level of comfort for the patient due to their ergonomic design and reduced vibration levels. That’s why material science plays a huge role in engineering contra-angles that can withstand years of sterilization cycles and clinical use. 304 stainless steel contra-angle handpiece that make it suitable for long-term autoclave sterilization and usage.
The construction materials include the followings features:
- Corrosion resistance – The 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and rust even after repeated autoclave cycles. This maintains the longevity of the handpiece.
- Heat resistance – 304 stainless steel has high heat resistance, allowing it to withstand the high temperatures of autoclaving repeatedly. This prevents damage to the internal mechanics.
- Dimensional stability – The material properties of 304 stainless steel prevent warping or deformations from autoclave heat cycles. This maintains precision and functioning.
- Smooth surface – The stainless steel surface resists scratches and remains smooth after repeated processing cycles. This reduces places for contaminants to adhere to.
- Cleanability – The smooth, non-porous surface can be easily scrubbed and cleaned after each use. This allows effective sterilization.
- Steam permeable – The stainless steel construction allows steam to thoroughly penetrate during autoclave cycles. This enables complete sterilization.
- Durability – 304 stainless steel has high strength and hardness properties, leading to long-term mechanical durability.
- Non-magnetic Properties: 304 stainless steel does not become magnetized, so it is an ideal material for dental handpieces that must remain free of magnetic interference.
- Affordability: 304 stainless steel is an affordable material, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers who are looking to produce a cost-effective handpiece that still offers the necessary levels of performance.
In summary, the 304 stainless steel contra-angle is engineered to withstand repeated autoclave cycles over many years of clinical use while maintaining safety, precision, and functionality.
