Hygiene Handpiece Survey Concluded at RDH: Hygienists Favor Cordless Options
Safco Survey Insights: Every hygienist requires a dependable handpiece, and we’re here to assist you in finding the perfect match for your requirements. Whether you're aiming to invest in a high-end model or prefer an affordable option that can be replaced regularly, there are plenty of great choices available.
To pinpoint the ideal features, we collaborated with nearly 200 hygienists to evaluate eight popular handpieces from leading manufacturers. Safco organized three days of handpiece demonstrations during this year's RDH Under One Roof event, giving hygienists the chance to try out these tools personally and even enter a raffle to win their favorite at the conclusion of the event. Their feedback has been invaluable in helping guide you towards the right tool for your daily use.
Selecting the best handpiece can be tricky. The key lies in identifying the most critical features to ensure you choose a tool that aligns with your work style and satisfies your unique needs.
