Is the Hydrim good for all instruments and handpieces?
As the marketplace sees an increasing diversity in instrumentation and materials, we have to be vigilant to make sure that the materials being cleaned are compatible with the Hydrim cleaning process. The Hydrim is never appropriate for high speed or low speed handpieces. Never use an ultrasonic unit to clean handpieces and for the same reason do not use a Hydrim. Just as you separate dissimilar metals prior to sterilization, you should do the same with instrument prep prior to the Hydrim. Carbon steel is not recommended for the Hydrim.
