New 3M™ ESPE™ Pentamix™ Lite Automatic Mixing Unit is the Entry Model to Automatic Mixing

Automatic mixing units give dental professionals a shortcut to the perfect mix of impression material. Building off of the trusted Pentamix™ family name, the introduction during July of the 3M™ ESPE™ Pentamix™ Lite Automatic Mixing Unit provides dentists with an entry model to the world of automatic mixing. This affordable, portable mixer works with all 3M ESPE impression materials, and is built with convenience in mind.

From high-viscosity putty to medium-bodied materials, the Pentamix Lite automatic mixing unit consistently delivers a homogenous, reproducible mixing quality for void-free impressions. The Pentamix Lite automatic mixing unit works with all 3M ESPE impression materials, including Imprint™ 4 VPS Impression Material, the fastest setting impression material on the market, and Impregum™ Soft Polyether Impression Material, the gold-standard for impression materials.

The automatic mixing unit's intuitive set-up is designed for maximum ease of use—just plug it in, push the start button, and start mixing. The unit's light weight and its integrated handgrip make it easy to carry from surgery to surgery, and its compact design saves space when the device is in standby position. Additionally, the Pentamix Lite automatic mixing unit enables hygienic direct filling of trays and syringes without the risk of cross-contamination.

"The Pentamix Lite automatic mixing unit allows practices to start automatic mixing almost as soon as the device is out of the box," said Michel Caux, Snr. Product Manager, 3M ESPE. "Simply plug in the mixing unit, insert a foil bag of impression material into the universal cartridge, put the cartridge in the unit, attach a mixing tip and start filling the tray or syringe. The intuitive design makes it simple to put the unit right to work, and its portability means it can be easily moved to wherever it is needed within the practice."

The Pentamix Lite automatic mixing unit gives dentists a cost effective tool to dispense exactly the amount of material needed to avoid wasting impression material, and to keep the workflow running efficiently for higher productivity.

Together, with 3M ESPE impression materials, the Pentamix Lite automatic mixing unit offers dentists precision and control with a fast, time-saving procedure.
