The new line of Bien Air highspeed handpieces combines avant-garde technology with exceptional ergonomics. Utilized in aerospace, sailing and competitive sports, carbon fiber is the latest advancement in the dental industry.

Ten times the strength of steel, carbon fiber is extremely lightweight and offers improved resistance to wear, friction, torsion and impacts, making the material an easy choice for any dental practice.

The new Blackline series also encompasses innovative LED lighting. LED has a service life that is 10 times longer than that of a traditional light bulb, dramatically improving the visibility of the operative field while leaving virtually no shadow area.

Coupled with the market’s only air-cushioned swivel, these handpieces provide unmatched maneuverability, free from drag caused by the tubing.

This series of handpieces comprises the Bora turbine, characterized by its extraordinary power, and the Prestige turbine, fitted with one of the smallest heads available on the market.

In addition to the lightweight carbon fiber core and luminous LED light, Bien Air’s Swiss-made Blackline handpieces utilize dual-optic glass rods, triple-separated air and water spray for perfectly balanced cooling, long-lasting ceramic ball bearings, an anti-heat push button and a vibration-free chuck assembly.

According to Bien Air, practitioners can help alleviate issues caused by other handpieces by upgrading to the Bien Air Blackline series, a part of a Swiss tradition of excellence.

More information about the series of handpieces is available from Bien Air.
