Handpiece Maintenance
All Handpieces have a working life which can be extended by maintaining the
correct operating pressures and speeds as well as adequate lubrication.
The working life of most Handpieces turbines is 12-24 months, however, this will
depend upon the degree of care taken and the amount of use.
Preventative maintenance will ensure a working Handpiece at all times.
