Velopex AquaCare Air Abrasion & Polishing System
AquaCare Dental Air Abrasion and Air Polishing System for Cavity Preparation, Cleaning and Stain Removal
AquaCare is a revolutionary dental product in the field of Contactless Dentistry and Minimally Invasive Dentistry (M.I.D.)
making routine dental procedures painless for patients.
• Designed to deliver abrasion and prophylaxis, the AquaCare Treatment Center empowers the clinician to switch
easily between dental procedures.
• Pressures and media settings do not need adjusting for differing treatments.
• Enjoy the finesse required in multi-disciplinary treatments.
The most versatile unit for Air Abrasion & Prophylaxis
AquaCare Air Abrasion in Dentistry
In cutting mode, AquaCare is used for preparation of cavities without the need for anesthetic or drilling.
The AquaCare cuts quickly but conservatively, minimizing the removal of sound tooth material and eliminating the risk of chipping or stress fracturing.
Unlike conventional rotary cutting instruments, the AquaCare is not in direct contract with the tooth structure. There is no vibration, heat generation, noise or smell.
Other Routine procedures commonly performed with the AquaCare include:
• clearing out fissures
• preparing surfaces for bonding
• removing current cement residues from crown and bridges- extra orally
AquaCare Dental Air Polishing
In cleaning mode, the AquaCare delivers highly efficient stain
removal and cleaning. It also increases the effectiveness of tooth
whitening procedures.
The AquaCare can clean into the very fine
structure of the tooth, which conventional cleaning systems cannot do.
Per Dr Chris Matthews; “The AquaCare is the most effective device I have
ever used for removing stains from all tooth surfaces, even those
difficult to get into pits and crevices which normal cleaning can’t
reach. The results speak for themselves and patients love their
brilliant smiles.” (“why sweep the carpet with a brush when a hoover is
so much more efficient”)
Multi-Function Handpiece – Cut, Clean, Wash and Dry
The AquaCare main feature is the patented handpiece. The handpiece
delivers a high-speed fluid stream to create a liquid curtain around the
abrasive medium. The fluid is fed from a self contained reservoir
within the AquaCare unit. The fluid stream eliminates free borne dust
particles and is comfortable for the patient.
The handpeice delivers
full access in the mouth as it has no cumbersome powder pots
attachments. It is light to hold, easy to manoeuvre and works equally
well with cutting and cleaning materials. The main airstream that
contains the particles exits the handpeice at around 80 psi. Speed and
Powder controls on the AquaCare allow the Dentist to adjust the pressure
and the amount of powder that feeds to the handpeice.
The handpiece
is autoclavable and comes in two colour coded cutting sizes. The long
life tungsten carbide cutting nozzles can be easily changed depending on
treatment.
Time-Saving Foot Control
AquaCare - Foot
ControlThe AquaCare includes a triple-action foot control that enables
cut, clean, wash, and dry operations to be carried out through the same
handpiece, allowing continuous operation without interruption. An entire
procedure can be performed without removing the tip from the oral
cavity. One handpiece supplies air, water and/or treating medium.
Convenient Powder Cartridge System
The
powder for the AquaCare comes in self-contained powder cartridges that
allow for quick and easy replacement. The cartridge has an inbuilt feed
system that eliminates blocking. It also allows for fast, efficient no
mess changes between materials and avoids mixing and possible
contamination of the powders. The AquaCare currently works with 4
different powders, with more materials in development.
Color-coded, disposable powder cartridge system ensures quick, hygienic refills and powder grade changes.
The AquaCare is completely air driven with no electrical parts requiring less maintenance than electronic equipment.
There are also no pumps and no leaking as the AquaCare works entirely with air pressure.
The AquaCare provides fast, efficient cutting and cleaning with very high levels of patient acceptability.

Orthodontics: AquaCare is a superior tool for Incognito Lingual brackets as it is able to reach difficult internal surfaces in order to clean and attach the brackets.
Pediatric Dentistry: AquaCare is a perfect tool for hypersensitive and young patients as most routine procedures can be done without use of an anesthetic and there is no vibration, heat generation, noise or smell.Cutting Media: 53 and 29 micron Aluminium Oxide. Powder rate infinitely variable between 0 and 6g / min (0.2oz) via
rotating switch and pressure gauge.
Polishing Medium: Sodium Bicarbonate.
Handpiece: Anodised Aluminium with separate integral powder and fluid channels (both operated by foot control). Nozzles
