Ergonomics
It is important to consider ergonomics when picking the perfect handpiece. Design features that should be evaluated include weight and grip. The lighter the contra-angle, the more comfortable it should feel in the dentist’s hands. Modern contra-angles are designed to be lightweight and perfectly balanced - ideal for using for extended periods of time without causing strain. Some handpieces, such as the BA250LT and BA200LTS, come with a PVD "smart coating" for enhanced grip.
