The EMS products to be distributed by Hu-Friedy include:

• Piezon 250 scaler

• Air-Flow Master
• Air-Flow Master Piezon combination unit
• Air-Flow S2 combination unit

In addition, Hu-Friedy said the "suite" would include a Piezon Master 700 scaler introduced later this year.

"This alliance not only adds exceptional technology to our product portfolio, but allows Hu-Friedy to change the game of prophylaxis in the U.S. and Canada," said Ken Serota, president of Hu-Friedy.
