Photo/Provided by Sulzer Mixpac Sulzer Mixpac 1 ml system delivers big on flexibility By Sulzer Mixpac Staff Sulzer Mixpac has developed a new one-component system for hygienic dental applications: the 1 ml system. The product has a standard Luer Lock, which provides a highly secure connection be- cause of its screw-thread design. And it comes with three different, bendable and rotatable cannulas. The company reports that its 1 ml ap- plication system has an innovative, flex- ible cannula, which is available in three different gauges: 18, 20 and 22. “The metal cannula on our Luer Lock tips is 360-degree rotatable and can be bent up to 180 degrees without reducing the inner diameter and the material flow. This allows an individual and safe appli- cation of low-viscosity to gel materials in difficult clinical situations,” said Anja Stouten, the company’s head of product management/dental. AD Reliable quality The metal cannula is rounded by a vibra- tory finishing process. Because of this special surface treatment, the metal is deburred, and therefore the cannula is optimally prepared to use on the patient, according to the company. For the production of the 1 ml system, only high-quality, FDA-listed materials are used. This is the case for the plastic materials as well as for the medical stain- less steel of the cannula. Easy and safe handling The application process is described by the company as being “intuitive.” The ergonomic design of the 1 ml car- tridge ensures a stable and precise appli- cation. The coated silicone O-ring facilitates application and reliably seals the system. The cartridges are available in white, black and transparent and thus suitable for different dental materials.
