Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | May 2017 I N DUST RY N EWS A9 AD Colibri tips deliver precisely mixed material via a stainless-steel cannula that keeps a uniform inner diameter even if bending up to 180 degrees. Photo/Provided by Sulzer Mixpac T-Mixer Colibri makes it easy to be flexible In late 2016, Sulzer Mixpac, a business unit of Sulzer, launched MIXPAC™ T-Mixer Colibri™, featuring an integrated metal cannula that is 180-degrees bendable and 360-degrees rotatable. According to the company, the tip enables homogeneous, safe mixing of costly multicomponent den- tal material, providing savings of up to 40 percent while enabling precise application of the material. These features make the new mixing tip especially well-suited for cementing in the root canal and applying core buildup mate- rials, the company asserts. “The economical T-Mixer Colibri inge- niously combines two of our most suc- cessful products,” said Martina Strasser, Sulzer Mixpac global head of sales dental. “It combines the reliability of the T-Mixer’s geometry with all the advantages of our bendable and rotatable Colibri. The mixing tip allows an ergonomic posture and high- ly professional work, even when treating difficult-to-reach areas. So changes to the working environment are not necessary. The result is a consistent, homogenous ap- plication — even when bended — thanks to a medical-grade stainless-steel cannula that maintains a uniform inner diameter.” Up to 40 percent less material Sulzer reports that the T-Mixer Colibri’s innovative design results in a material sav- ings of up to 40 percent compared with He- lix mixing tips. This enables easier, more- precise and safer handling and application of the material. The shearing and stretch- ing forces produced inside a T-Mixer result in a more homogenous distribution of in- dividual molecules compared with con- ventional mixing tips, ensuring improved material reactivity. The T-Mixer has received multiple awards from the magazines Dental Advisor and Clinicians Report. The T-Mixer Colibri is compatible with all 2.5 to 10 ml MIXPAC cartridges. ‘Innovation in application’ Sulzer’s static mixing tips have built an ex- cellent international reputation thanks to the innovative Swiss manufacturer’s tech- nological leadership, the company asserts. In 2016, Sulzer produced 2 billion plastic components such as applicator tips, mix- ing tips, cartridges and dispensing devices for single- and multi-component materials. (Source: Sulzer Mixpac)
