Multiple New Product Launches Scheduled for Chicago Dental Society
Mid-Winter Meeting SANTA ANA, Calif., Feb. 14
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PRO-DEX, INC. (NASDAQ:PDEX), a provider
of embedded motion control and miniature rotary drive systems,
serving the medical, dental, semi-conductor, and scientific
research markets, today announced that several products it has been
developing for major names in the dental industry will be launched
at the up-coming annual meeting of the Chicago Dental Society. The
meeting scheduled for the 24th through the 27th of February brings
together dental industry manufacturers, distributors and dealers
from around the world to introduce new products and clinical
techniques to dentists in America's heartland. Among the products
that can be seen at the meeting, a new electric motor controller
for performing endodontic (root canals) procedures will be shown by
SybronEndo, a division of Sybron Dental Specialties, a long-time
customer of Pro-Dex. The new motor controller contains proprietary
technology that allows the device to communicate directly with
SybronEndo's Elements(TM) Diagnostic Unit, permitting the doctor to
simultaneously shape the root canal and measure the progress of
that shaping procedure. Also being introduced at the meeting is the
next generation of the IntraFlow(TM) Anesthesia Delivery System
from IntraVantage, Inc. The new IntraFlow(TM) HTP is a one-step
intraosseous system, that instantly delivers anesthesia to a
targeted tooth. This eliminates facial numbness and patient
discomfort, during and after the dental procedure, as is normally
associated with delivering local anesthesia. Given the success of
the original IntraFlow(TM) released in 2003, Pro-Dex in conjunction
with IntraVantage's design team, developed a more compact and
ergonomically pleasing handpiece as the central component of the
System. Finally, a duo of new prophy handpieces manufactured by
Pro-Dex will be available from Sullivan-Schein Dental, a division
of Henry Schein Inc., under the Henry Schein brand name of
Acclean(R). The two handpieces are specially designed for use by
dental hygienists in providing prophylactic teeth cleaning.
Ergonomically designed and constructed of aluminum and stainless
steel, the handpieces provide a light feel, while delivering
superior performance and reliability. Total first year sales of
these three new products is projected to be approximately
$2,500,000. Pro-Dex has already begun delivery of two of the
products and is scheduled to begin shipments of the third by the
end of February. Pro-Dex will also be showing several recent
additions to its Micro Motors line of branded handpieces, products
that are sold by major North American dental dealers. Pro-Dex will
be exhibiting in booth #109 at the McCormick Place Convention
Center in Chicago. Sybron Dental Specialties, Inc. (NYSE:SYD), is a
