The D16-1C is designed for rotary work in general dental surgery, where a contra angle brings the working end to surfaces that lie out of line with a straight piece. The head leans away from the body, and the satin metal between them runs unbroken from one end to the other, keeping the outline easy to follow.
Across restorative rooms and hospital clinics, a contra angle is picked up and set down again many times each day. The SOCO crest on the flank lets a team read the maker's name without turning the piece over. At the close of a session, each handpiece goes back to its place, and because every piece in a set of this model looks alike, a tray stays tidy. Staff who move between rooms know the handpiece by its lean outline and satin finish so that they can pass it along the chair without explanation or a second look at the label.
The name push button contra angle is the only technical term given for this model. Nothing more comes with it in the model description, so a team that wants a figure for its records can request it through Medigear. That covers speed, ratio, bur size, spray type and air supply, none of which is stated.
Practice managers and dental assistants handle purchasing. One code, D16-1C, names the handpiece. Several rooms fitted with this piece can share one code, which keeps reorders to a single line and keeps trays matched across the building.
