Ultrasonic Scaler

This is a clogged Woodpecker Ultrasonic Scaler. Particles from the new tube installed blocked the narrower tubes from the valve going to the tube inside the handpiece. It's important to make sure that new tubes are clean and free from small particles before connecting it to the main unit.

Woodpecker is one of the most affordable scalers in the Philippines.

An ultrasonic scaler is primarily used for oral/dental prophylaxis.
