Welcome to Amyrdh.com!

		Hu-Friedy is a company like no other because it embodies a concept like no other: the dental instruments it produces are a critical extension of each practioner's skill. It is the main reason why we are dedicated to individually hand-crafting the highest quality instruments in the profession. They are exceptional instruments, renowned the world over for their precision, performance, longevity, reliability and uncompromising quality. Hu-Friedy is committed to you - the dental hygienist. Our long tradition of working closely with hygienists has led to a history of innovation, from After Five® and Mini Five® Gracey curettes to Swivel!™ ultrasonic inserts. By listening to your requirements and challenges we continue to develop new product designs with you in mind.
		EverEdge!™ Scalers Stays Sharper Longer EverEdge technology is unlike anything you've experienced before in a scaler. We've applied state of the art technology in metallurgy, heat treatment and cryogenics to create a superior stainless steel alloy for scalers and curettes that stay sharper longer than any instrument you've used. That means less frequent sharpening, less hand fatigue, and greater comfort throughout the day. The improved sharpness of EverEdge instruments does not come from a superficial coating - the long-lasting wear is present throughout the entire instrument tip.
		Sidekick™, the Smart Sharpener™ Routine sharpening has never been so fast and easy. The Sidekick guides your scaler or curette to sharp, consistent results time after time. Welcome to the Edge of Sharpening Technology.
		SWIVEL™ Direct Flow™ Never before has anyone combined through-tip water delivery with the revolutionary SWIVEL insert design. The through-tip water delivery of SWIVEL Direct Flow focuses the water flow directly to the tip - reducing excess spray for improved visibility and enhanced patient comfort. Hu-Friedy's SWIVEL insert (UI25SS100) was recently rated the Universal Insert with overall best features, by an independent non-profit dental products testing laboratory.
		DiamondTec™ File Scalers Introducing the only diamond coated file scaler with 360 degrees of diamond coating. The scaler with complete diamond coverage for unbeatable scaling access and versatility. DiamondTec scalers are the perfect size and shape to enhance definitive scaling in furcations and root depressions.
		SWIVEL™ Ultrasonic Inserts Only Swivel and its large diameter silicone grip give you The Up Front Advantage™. Simply roll the insert in your fingertips for smooth scaling from start to finish. The exclusive Swivel feature minimizes the drag from the handpiece cord and eliminates the need to stop scaling to turn the instrument, helping you save time. Experience control where it matters - up front - with Swivel ultrasonic inserts.
		ResinEight™ Instruments Experience excellence with a superior instrument handle engineered for peak performance. ResinEight's ideal weight allows for a comfortable grip and easy handling. Coupled with the larger diameter handle and Hu-Friedy's exclusive Comfort Zone™, this instrument provides you with the perfect touch you are looking for. Not too heavy and not too light - it's just right!
		Satin Steel® Instruments A dynamically balanced, energy efficient instrument designed with your hand in mind. Satin Steel instruments feature a maximum diameter handle so you can loosen your grasp while you work. These instruments also feature Hu-Friedy's exclusive Comfort Zone™ - an extra wide, gradual taper between the handle and the tip.
		Nevi Scalers The anterior Nevi scalers feature an elongated disk end for anterior lingual stain and calculus removal. The entire disk end is a cutting edge, allowing it to be used with a push or pull stroke in any direction. The posterior Nevi scaler is a super thin curved sickle scaler. Its unique contra-angle design is great for interproximal reach and ergonomic hand positioning.
		Colorvue™ Probes Colorvue probes provide the visibility and comfort you need in a replaceable plastic probe. The vivid yellow tip and black markings provide superior contrast to intraoral structures for enhanced visibility.
