With the Pentamix™ 2 Automatic mixing unit, mixing by hand is a thing of the past. Suitable for polyether and VPS impression materials, you can do your impression work much better, faster and even more economically.
Experience the quality and comfort of automatic mixing
A study investigated operators’ preference for different mixing techniques. All users, from dental students to experienced dentists, preferred automated mixing with the Pentamix™ 2 Mixing Unit over hand-mixing, regardless of the viscosity of the impression material employed.
