Ultradent has released its first cordless, handheld impression gun, designed specifically to express dental impression material in an efficient and precise way. The BFC3 impression gun is compatible with 25 ml, 50 ml, and 75 ml 1:1 or 2:1 automix cartridges, and can dispense up to 60 full 50 ml heavy body VPS cartridges on a fully charged battery. Combining this compatibility with BFC3’s anti-drip feature, which momentarily reverses the plunger to prevent waste when dispensing, this impression gun is designed with convenience in mind.
It is compatible with ThermoClone™ VPS and Chromaclone™ PVS impression material lines, alginate alternative material, bite registration, and impression mixing tips, according to a press release from Ultradent. Other convenience-boosting features include a full charge time of 2.5 hours and a battery-status LED indicator, so you always know when it’s time to plug back in. The device also features overcharge protection circuitry to prevent any issues.
A key feature with the BFC3 is its ability to grant adjustable flow rates for better control of impression expression. This will enable clinicians to have optimal control over the amount of material they are expressing for each treatment and procedure. This, combined with the BFC3’s other variety of features, guarantees a powerful device for impression expression.
