EMS and Hu-Friedy form strategic alliance

Electro Medical Systems (EMS) and Hu-Friedy have announced a strategic alliance to deliver the most clinically advanced prophylaxis protocol to the U.S. and Canadian markets.

The foundation of the strategic alliance is a focus on advancing prophylaxis protocol by leveraging Hu-Friedy's heritage in high-quality hand instrumentation, coupled with best-in-class EMS offerings in Piezon scaling and air polishing. With this new alliance, Hu-Friedy is now the exclusive U.S. and Canadian distributor of EMS Piezon NO PAIN scaling technology, as well as AIR-FLOW air polishing products. Combining these technologies with Hu-Friedy's extensive line of hand scaling instruments offers clinicians access to the most comprehensive prophylaxis treatment methods, backed by legendary Hu-Friedy service and support. "This alliance not only adds exceptional technology to our product portfolio, but allows Hu-Friedy to change the game of prophylaxis in the U.S. and Canada," said Ken Serota, President of Hu-Friedy. "As the only company to offer products for hand instrumentation, Piezon scaling and air polishing, we are now uniquely positioned to help clinicians deliver the highest level of prophylaxis care to their patients." The Piezon scaling products combine the precision of Piezon technology, uniform power output and ergonomics in four devices that will optimize treatment efficiency and increase both patient and clinician comfort. These products can be used in even the most difficult or sensitive cases, including sub-gingival fine scaling, implant maintenance and endodontic treatments.
