MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada--ProDrive Systems has announced the U.S. Patent Office has allowed Patent No. 11/262,959 for ProDrive Systems’ adjustable tool drive arrangement, more commonly referred to as the bur lengthening feature.
The feature allows ProDrive diamond and carbide burs for high-speed handpieces to be extended and locked into position for increased hold and safety. The 3-mm extension makes procedures in difficult to reach places easier and more precise.
The bur lengthening patent is the most recent for ProDrive Systems, which holds others such as Patent No. 7,677,890, ProDrive’s triangular shaped turbine system. When engaged, the ProDrive Bur locks into the ProDrive Turbine, preventing rotation of the bur inside the turbine. This results in greater torque transfer for faster, smoother, more precise cutting.
In addition to the U.S. Patents, ProDrive Systems has obtained international patents in 37 regions.
The patented ProDrive System is a turbine upgrade compatible with today's leading brand high-speed handpieces. It allows dentists to continue using their preferred handpiece yet empowers their instrument 's performance. ProDrive Turbines work in conjunction with ProDrive Diamond and Carbide Burs, all of which can be lengthened 3 mm. They have double grooves enabling them to be safely locked in place.
