Effective January 20, Patterson Dental serves as an authorized U.S. supplier and the only national distributor of the ProDrive System – the world's first handpiece upgrade – from ProDrive Systems Ltd. Patterson signed an exclusive agreement in September to distribute ProDrive technology in Canada.
The ProDrive System is designed as a performance upgrade to current handpieces in the dental office. Unlike traditional friction grip burs with a round shank, ProDrive features a triangular shank uniquely designed to lock the bur and turbine together to prevent burs from slipping, enabling faster, smoother cutting, superior control and improved precision. Doctors further benefit from ProDrive's unique bur-lengthening feature that locks into place and allows the bur to be safely extended by 3mm, providing smooth and precise cuts even in difficult-to-reach areas.
"ProDrive's innovative handpiece technology is supported by years of research and development," said John Bettencourt, Patterson Dental vice president, marketing, equipment and technical service. "Patterson Dental looks forward to working with dental professionals to bring dentistry's newest, yet proven technology, to another area of the practice."
As the world's first turbine and bur locking system, ProDrive is proven to improve the performance of most major high-speed handpieces. Additionally, ProDrive offers a full selection of diamond and carbide burs manufactured by Meisinger. ProDrive also offers its own high-speed handpiece, complete with an ergonomic design and titanium sleeve to ensure optimal performance and reduced noise levels.
"While Patterson's exclusive distribution of ProDrive products in Canada began just last fall, we are already seeing tremendous demand for this technology and have every reason to believe dental professionals in the U.S. will embrace this opportunity to achieve clinical advancements and to treat patients more efficiently," Bettencourt said.
"We are proud to partner with leading names such as Patterson Dental – long known for introducing the newest technologies in dentistry – to bring this revolutionary product to dental practices," said Richard St-Pierre, president and CEO of ProDrive Systems.
