25K or 30K (Frequency of Operation)
There are three types of Magnetostrictive scalers; those that accept 25K inserts, those that accept 30K inserts, and those that accept both. If you choose the wrong insert for your scaler two things can happen:
- The scaler will not operate
- The insert will not fit in the handpiece (25K inserts won’t fit in a 30K handpiece)
Parkell’s TurboSensor® (D560-110) and Integra® (D680-110) work with both 25K and 30K inserts. Parkell’s TurboVue® (D570-110) only works with 30K.
HELPFUL HINT:
Inserts don’t last forever, but do you know exactly when the time is right to replace them? Believe it or not a cup of coffee can help you determine if your insert is ready for the sharps container, or if it can continue to fight the good fight against calculus.

Grip
| CLASSIC | Our original metal grip. Over its 31mm of length the width tapers in diameter from just over 10mm to 6mm. |
| SOFT GRIP | Our first-generation soft grip has a vinyl casing that provides extra cushioning. A gentle contour of the diameter between 10 and 11mm helps make you aware how close you are to the end without looking as you move your fingers up and down the grip for access to different parts of the mouth. |
| COMFORT GRIP | Our second-generation soft grip offers the most comfort. Designed by insert engineers, this 12mm wide grip with a tire-like tread pattern helps you securely grasp the insert without the need of excessive pressure. This can help lessen the chances of hand fatigue after a long day of scaling. |
Water Flow
| STANDARD | Water is delivered from the base of the tip (A) |
| PRECISION | Water is delivered close to the tip (B) Advantages: A more effective lavage of the treatment site. • Improved visibility • Potential for a decrease in aerosol depending on the scaler setting |

Handpiece Sheaths
If you’re office is still wiping down the scaler handpiece between patients, now is a good time to take your scaler infection control to the next level by removing and autoclaving the handpiece sheath after each patient.
Parkell’s TurboSensor®, TurboVue® and Integra® all have removable and autoclavable handpiece sheaths. To calculate the minimum number you need, divide the number of hygiene patients you see each day by the number of times you run the autoclave.
HELPFUL HINT:
If you’re an office that mostly uses one insert per patient hygiene recare appointment, bag a handpiece sheath with each insert and sterilize them together.

Durable. Reliable. Effective.
When you use a Parkell insert, you’ll quickly understand what a solid, well-balanced insert should feel like.
Using the highest quality stainless steel, each and every insert we make here at Parkell is hand-assembled like a custom piece of jewelry. Inspected, tested, and finely-tuned for optimizing your scaler’s performance, Parkell inserts will out-perform and outlast other inserts.
Sure, you may find an insert that costs less, but in the long haul, you’ll actually spend MORE money replacing those cheaper, lesser quality inserts than if you had purchased a Parkell insert from the start.
