[Handpiece]
Ti-Max Z95L Switch Valve
The Ti-Max Z95L handpiece features a spray switch that allows users to instantly switch between water spray or water jet functions. This is designed to offer maximum protection while still contributing to cooling. The addition of the switch valve, which turns off the coolant air, allows contra-angle handpieces to reduce water aerosols by as much as 50%. The water jet (water only) is an alternative cooling function for the water spray during procedures.
