Scrub and Rinse

1.  Disconnect handpiece from coupler.

2.  Push button to remove bur.

3.  Scrub and rinse handpiece under warm tap water with a soft sponge. While scrubbing and rinsing, it is best to keep the handpiece in the upright position. Make sure the fiber optic light port near the head of the handpiece is scrubbed well. Once a week or as needed, gently rub alcohol-soaked cotton swab against the inside end of the fiber optic element to remove debris or lubricant build up.

 

Lubricate and Expel

1.  While holding the can of Midwest Plus Aerosol Spray upright, insert nozzle fully into handpiece (without a bur).

2.  Cover head of handpiece with Midwest spray guard or paper towel. Lubricate your handpiece with one quick spray of Midwest Plus then properly expel.

3.  All lubricant must be thoroughly expelled by running handpiece (without a bur) until it reaches normal speed, or until all excess lubricant is expelled (a minimum of 20 seconds). Expel in operatory or using Midwest Air Station.

4.  Wipe off any excess lubricant on outside of handpiece with a dry gauze pad or paper towel. On a weekly basis or if button gets stiff, spray Midwest Plus Aerosol into chuck for one second.
