Reed Dental™ FlexDrive

Just like the reed in Jean de La Fontaine's fable The Oak and the Reed, this shaft is designed to bend and return to its original position without deformation or breakage.

Reed Dental™ FlexDrive is a dental shaft that incorporates a flexible joint maintaining rigidity during torsion while allowing flexibility in flexion. This unique feature enables dental insertion instruments to deliver stable insertion torque, even while rotating in a bent position.

This advantage is particularly useful in hard-to-reach areas or when placing tilted implants.

Designed to seamlessly integrate into any insertion instrument, this cutting-edge technology enhances safety and handling, significantly improving the experience for both patients and clinicians during implant placement.

Unique Combination of Features

• Adaptable: Capable of operating while bent up to ±30°
• Robust: More than 500 Ncm of transmissible torque
• Durable: Fatigue testing simulated over 10000 cycles of use
• Safe: Stress levels reduced by more than 75% compared to rigid shafts

Reed Dental™ FlexDrive technology is designed for multiple uses. Its cleaning and sterilization processes have been validated in accordance with the ISO 17664-1 standard.

Multiple Fields of Application

Originally designed for implant drivers due to its high torque transmission capabilities, Reed Dental™ FlexDrive technology can be integrated into any dental insertion instrument. Compatible with the use of contra-angles and torque wrenches, it ensures safe and smooth handling in all clinical situations.

The level of rigidity can be adjusted to suit specific applications; for instance, a screwdriver is equipped with a softer spring than an implant insertion instrument.

Ultimate Safety

When applied to implant drivers, Reed Dental™ FlexDrive technology reduces stress on bone and implant by over 75% during insertion, significantly lowering the risk of complications compared to a traditional implant driver.

During implant placement in patients with low bone density, or when using small diameter or ceramic implants, Reed Dental™ FlexDrive technology represents a major breakthrough. It significantly reduces the bending loads that were previously unavoidable during insertion, thereby minimizing the risk of fractures in both the bone and the implant.

Outstanding Benefits

Thanks to Reed Dental™ FlexDrive technology, patients experience greater confidence in their treatment, benefit from a reduced risk of complications, and enjoy increased comfort during procedures. This innovative solution also provides exceptional advantages to clinicians:

• Enhanced Efficiency and Ergonomics
• Increased Safety
• Elevated Patient Satisfaction

Exclusive Innovation

Validated by a rigorously selected group of international clinicians, Reed Dental™ FlexDrive technology represents a revolutionary advancement in the field of implant placement.

This patented technology, still unprecedented on the market, offers implant manufacturers a unique opportunity to rapidly develop innovative products and gain a competitive advantage.

100% Swiss Excellence

Reed Dental™ FlexDrive technology is the result of close collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland and two Swiss industrial MedTech partners highly specialized in manufacturing and assembling micro-mechanical components.
