Midwest AirTouch Tower Air Abrasion System (Model 520130)

Tower, CO2 Dual Tank System

*Used Condition

The AirTouch Tower is Dentsply/Midwest's top of the line self-contained air abrasion system. Air abrasion provides an alternative to the high-speed handpiece for removing caries from tooth structure. Dentsply/Midwest reports it is indicated for sealants, Class I, Class II tunnel preparations, Class III, Class IV, root caries, removal of composite and stains, and porcelain repair. Its many purported advantages compared to traditional preparation procedures include: less invasive, more conservative treatment; reduced need for local anesthetic; earlier and more accurate diagnosis which reduces under- or over-treatment; reduction or elimination of vibration, chipping, and micro-fracturing; and immediate beveling of cavo surfaces. The AirTouch Tower with dual powder chambers for use with 27- or 50-micron aluminum oxide powder. This model uses a built-in CO2 tank (NOT INCLUDED). In addition, the AirTouch Tower is the only air abrasion system to provide both intraoral and extra-oral powder evacuation.

The digital display membrane touchpanel allows the user to regulate the air pressure (40 to 120 psi in 10-psi increments), cutting time (0.2 to 2.5 sec in 0.5-sec increments and continuous mode), powder size (27 or 50 microns), and includes a separate powder boost mode for increased powder flow when more powerful cutting is required. A memory function allows recall of preferred pre-set pressure and cutting settings. The Smart Digital Display provides continuous information and instructions on use and maintenance.

The AirTouch Tower measures 35"H x 14"W x 17.5"D and weighs 100 LBS.
