Acteon UK has just launched a new range of hand instruments called Bliss. They are strikingly different to most other instruments on the market. Curvy and contoured to maximise comfort, the first thing you'll notice is the urge to actually hold one. The second thing you'll notice is the soft silicone touch and the way it fits snugly in your working hand. You might even forget it's there because it is so lightweight, only 15 g.

Bliss hand instruments have been designed by clinicians, working closely with the experienced manufacturers at Acteon. Not only is the handle shape new, but the tips have also been adjusted to maximise performance and improve access in hard to reach areas.

The pentagonal, flat-sided grip design is much more comfortable than typical cylindrical machined grips allowing for superior tactile feedback. The high-quality stainless steel used and the production process itself produces tips that are harder wearing and stay sharper for longer. The different instrument types are colour coded for easy recognition and can be personalised.

This combination of comfort, feel, hardness and sharpness ensures that users have to use less force, suffer less hand fatigue and patients experience a much enhanced, lighter and faster treatment.

Acteon UK specialises in the manufacture and supply of minimally invasive innovative technologies for dentists and dental professionals to diagnose, treat and educate patients efficiently.
