Hu-Friedy Introduces Diamond Sharpening Cards
-->
New sharpening product provides a unique and brand new
alternative to sharpening stones
CHICAGO
(March 2014) Hu-Friedy, a global
leader in the manufacturing of dental instruments, today introduces Diamond
Sharpening Cards to their extensive portfolio of dental instrument sharpening
products. A new innovation in instrument sharpening, the stainless steel Diamond
Sharpening Cards offer a unique and revolutionary alternative to standard
sharpening stones.
Diamond Sharpening Cards are coated on
one side with a continuous surface of small industrial diamonds for superior hardness.
The flat, hard stainless steel surface of the card will not easily groove or
ditch over time. About the size of a
credit card, the Diamond Sharpening Cards will readily fit into instrument
cassettes and sterilization pouches so clinicians can have a sharpening card readily
available with each procedural set-up.
Available in extra fine, fine and
medium grits, the Diamond Sharpening Cards are used with the same sharpening
techniques as traditional sharpening stones. No oil is necessary for lubrication
during sharpening procedures as the cards can be used dry or, if preferred,
with water.
“Sharpening is an important component
of the care and maintenance of dental instruments. As leaders in hand
instrumentation, Hu-Friedy is committed to supporting our customers with
products that assist them in keeping our instruments in top working condition,”
says Ken Serota, President of Hu-Friedy Mfg. Co. “The first of their kind in
dentistry, our new Diamond Sharpening Cards are a convenient, long-lasting
solution for sharpening that we believe our customers will be excited to try.”
In addition to the Diamond Sharpening
Cards, Hu-Friedy offers a wide range of Arkansas, India and ceramic sharpening
stones, as well as the automated Sidekick® Sharpener. Hu-Friedy also
offers technical support and continuing education on sharpening for customers.
