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 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.
