Cool Touch+™. Addressing Patient Safety in the Most Responsible Manner.
In recent years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) along with other national public health authorities, have reported an alarming increase in patient injuries resulting from electric dental handpieces overheating during procedures*. The most severe cases have caused third-degree burns requiring reconstructive surgery, likely subjecting the practitioner to lengthy legal actions.
While overheating can be an indication of a damaged or clogged instrument, laboratory evaluations reveal that this hazard is just as prevalent in new and properly-maintained electric handpieces.
In a committed effort to promote patient safety, Bien-Air is introducing CoolTouch+™, the world’s first and only heat-arresting system proven not to exceed human body temperature**. After years of research and development, this complex proprietary technology is engaged to protect both the patient and the clinician during some of the profession’s most frequently performed procedures.
You’ve worked hard to build a solid reputation. Don’t destroy it by compromising patient safety.

Bien-Air’s CoolTouch+™ owes its exceptional heat-arresting properties to an ingenious configuration of an alumina bead and a thermally-insulated ceramic push-button. This frontline technology exhibits an invariably safe temperature of the handpiece’s head, even in the most rigorous conditions.
