NSK iCare Insight: By Gary Keenan
When it comes to your dental handpieces, their value lies in their reliability and safety for both the dentist and their patient. That’s why, when considering your decontamination procedures, we always recommend a lubrication system that delivers effective cleaning and lubrication but also supports efficiency too.

The NSK iCare Oiling Unit ticks all these boxes. Ergonomic and stylish, it sets a new benchmark for automatic handpiece maintenance. With a generous 1.2 litre oil tank and an intuitive, easy to control panel, it completely minimises the hassle of frequent refilling and offers simple one-touch operation. It can also automatically service up to four handpieces at once and is compact enough to be installed virtually anywhere in your decontamination room.

Two Types of iCare Models:
Accessibility is a key feature of the NSK iCare Oiling Unit, and with two model options available, you can choose the configuration that best suits your practice’s needs:

● iCare C2 Type: Features two high-speed handpiece ports and two slow-speed ports

● iCare C3 Type: Features one high-speed handpiece port and three slow-speed ports

Choose your right Brand Adaptors:
The NSK iCare is designed to accommodate not only your NSK handpieces but also those from a variety of other leading manufacturers. Depending on the model type you choose, you’ll have access to a selection of high-speed adaptors to suit your setup:

Unit Requirements:
If you’re considering the NSK iCare Oiling Unit, please note that it operates using a 6mm airline, so be sure this is installed in your decontamination room.
