In truth there are few new products that come onto the dental market that make a real difference to your everyday working life. With a perpetual evolution of advancing technology both in dentistry and the outside world, there are products that prove the exception to the rule, such as Apple's iPad. This product has taken the market by storm and revolutionised people's lives to new levels. One dental company has taken advantage of the iPad and has created an app that can improve the life of all implantologists.
The iChiropro by Bien-Air is a revolutionary physiodispenser controlled from an iPad. It has already paved the way for a brand new generation of medical appliances. It offers the complete pre-programmed operating sequences from the largest implant manufacturers. These can be customised to suit the needs of each user. The iChiropro offers the option to save and export the operating parameters, whilst documenting them with the patient data.
The ergonomic application ensures significant time savings during operations. Available free from the Apple App Store, the iChiropro application opens up numerous avenues in terms of customisation options. In future, new innovative functions will be introduced and available free of charge, to guarantee users a simple and ergonomic experience.
Controlling the iChiropro, the iPad is no mere gadget - it enables brand new practical functions. As well as incorporating the complete sequences of the leading implant manufacturers, it offers the option of saving and exporting operation data, in the form of graphics and tables. This data is attached to the patient file built into the control interface. It allows users to save, export and print all operation parameters, whilst documenting these with the patient data and the implants used. It includes a database featuring the main brands of implant on the market as well as their predefined settings, making it a quick, high-performance tool. The application also allows multiple users to customise and store their own sequences.
The iChiropro has been successfully approved as a Class II medical device; the iPad is a control interface function, while the motor and its various peripherals are controlled by the system's electronics. Applying a sterile film to the touchscreen display ensures cross infection is not an issue. Once the implant sequences have been saved, the iChiropro can be operated from the foot pedal alone.
The high torque of the Bien-Air MX-i LED micromotor offers working comfort, at high and low speeds. In addition, its ceramic ball bearings, which are lubricated for life, guarantee service life and reliability, with no maintenance required. The new 20:1 L Micro-Series contra-angle fits into Bien-Air's internal irrigation system, working smoothly and efficiently. It is also equipped with one of the smallest heads ever designed, and a double LED system for uniform lighting regardless of the speed of rotation.
