Implacare is Hu-Friedy's implant maintenance instrument that uses disposable Plasteel tips made from the strongest non-scratch plastic available. The Plasteel tips remove plaque and calculus from implants without damaging abutment surfaces. Implacare tips are available in three popular designs and fit securely onto the instrument's lifetime handle for improved control. Studies show Implacare Scalers do not alter abutment surfaces even after 25 strokes, unlike other plastic scalers.
