Hu-Friedy Scalers & Curettes

EVEREDGE 2.0

Harmony Scalers and Curettes

Designed with TrueFit

TrueFit™ Technology is an advanced sensor-based technology system which has measured over 2.8 million data points for pinch force in the finger and pressure applied to the tooth when scaling. HuFriedyGroup pioneered TrueFit Technology to address the need for scientific evidence in ergonomics.

Confidence in Your Hand

The durable metal handle, which features a recessed double-helix texture, is designed for optimal tactile sensitivity and to reduces tactile fatigue.

Reduces pinch force up to 65%4

This may alleviate hand fatigue and injury risk due to repetitive motions.5,6,7,8

Secure and Nimble Grasp

The silicone grip has been extended by 30%, which can provide a secure and nimble grasp while using the instrument. The geometric pattern is specifically designed for maximized grip in all directions.

Reduces Pressure on Tooth by 37%9

Harmony™ Scalers and Curettes may increase patient comfort, while reducing clinician fatigue because it requires less pressure to the tooth when scaling.

Fit for You, with over 2.8 Million Reasons to Believe

Due to the round shape of the handle and the smooth transition to the functional shank, you can comfortably maneuver and roll the scaler. With over 2.8 million data points measured, this handle was designed to easily adapt to your individual grasp.

Available in all your favorite instrument designs

Harmony scalers are available in over 95 instrument designs allowing customization of procedural setups to meet your unique scaling preferences.

Sharp Matters: 72% Sharper

EverEdge™ 2.0 working ends are 72% sharper2 than the next leading competitor allowing clinicians to efficiently remove calculus. Sharp scalers require less pressure to do the same amount of work, creating a more comfortable experience for you and your patients.

EverEdge 2.0: Better Than Ever

The Science

Who Tested The Instruments?

Independent testing was conducted by CATRA, a specialized blade laboratory. They evaluated Hu-Friedy EverEdge scalers alongside four competitors' instruments.

How Were The Instruments Tested?

The blade of each instrument was tested by repeatedly pushing it into a specially calibrated silicone test strip. The amount of force required to push the blade into the test media was measured in Newtons, a common international unit used to measure tension and shear force. The less force required to penetrate the media indicates a sharper blade. The blades of each instrument were also subjected to multiple strokes on the same calibrated test strip to simulate wear. These repeated strokes will begin to reduce the sharpness of the blade and therefore require more force to enter the test strip. After a predetermined amount of strokes is applied, the force to make the final cut is measured to determine the sharpness durability of the blade.


Why EverEdge 2.0?

NEW Finely Honed Finish

EverEdge scalers are sharp...EverEdge 2.0 scalers are even sharper. Less force means easier, more comfortable scaling for the clinician and patient.

Stays Sharper Even Longer

EverEdge 2.0 uses a new, optimized heat control process in order to maintain the hard, sharp edge.

This heat control, plus several manufacturing intricacies in Hu-Friedy's proprietary process, provide the durability needed for effective procedures and continued use.

Revolutionary Testing System

Hu-Friedy has invested in a custom blade evaluation system to ensure clinicians are receiving the sharpest possible instruments. Blades from every batch of EverEdge 2.0 are tested right off the factory line to confirm that the sharpness value remains in our target range, averaging 5 newtons of force required to cut the test material.

A Choice To Sharpen

Since the special characteristics of EverEdge 2.0 scalers are present throughout the entire blade, you are able to sharpen them at any point to extend their useful life while maintaining the integrity of the metal. If you don't want to sharpen, dispose of the instrument through Environdent and use a new scaler. Either way, the choice is yours.


Testimonials

Every time I used this scaler, it felt like the first time it was used. NICE & SHARP!

Russell Harms, RDH, RSDH

EverEdge 2.0 worked well with HEAVY DEPOSITS!

Ashley Deal, RDH

I like the grip it had on calculus—it was SHARPER than all of my other scalers!

Elwira Byjos, RDH

The EverEdge 2.0 blades SHARPENED VERY EASILY and remained sharper with each additional use.
