Henry Schein Expands Dental Hygiene Lineup with Launch of ACCLEAN Cordless Handpiece, Designed for Power, Comfort, and Efficiency
Henry Schein, a global leader in providing health care products and solutions to office-based dental and medical professionals, has announced the official launch of its latest innovation — the ACCCLEAN® Cordless Hygiene Handpiece. This next-generation device is specifically engineered to deliver high-powered performance with the comfort, ergonomics, and ease-of-use that modern dental hygienists demand in their daily clinical routines.
Distributed exclusively by Henry Schein, the new cordless handpiece represents a significant addition to the company’s preventive care product line. It reflects Henry Schein’s ongoing commitment to supporting oral health professionals with best-in-class tools that improve workflow, enhance the patient experience, and meet the stringent hygiene and performance standards of today’s dental practices.
A High-Performance Hygiene Tool Built for Professionals
At the heart of the new ACCLEAN Cordless Hygiene Handpiece is an advanced brushless motor engineered to provide sustained performance and long-term durability. The motor delivers high output torque, ensuring that the handpiece can maintain consistent speed even under pressure — a key requirement when removing heavy staining or hardened deposits from enamel surfaces.
This level of power is especially beneficial in demanding clinical environments where efficient and effective cleaning is essential. Whether used for routine prophylaxis or more intensive cleaning procedures, the ACCLEAN Cordless Handpiece provides the power needed to handle various clinical scenarios with precision and confidence.
Lightweight and Ergonomic for Enhanced Comfort
Weighing in at less than 113 grams, the ACCLEAN Cordless Hygiene Handpiece is among the lightest in its category. Its compact and balanced design helps reduce wrist and arm fatigue — a common concern among dental hygienists who perform repetitive motions during long hours of patient care.
The handpiece features a silicone sleeve that not only offers a secure, slip-resistant grip but also adds to the user’s overall comfort during prolonged procedures. By combining lightweight materials with ergonomic design, Henry Schein aims to promote better posture and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal strain — issues that are prevalent in the dental hygiene profession.
Cordless Design Improves Maneuverability and Efficiency
One of the standout features of the ACCLEAN handpiece is its cordless design, which enhances maneuverability and eliminates the hassle of tangled or restrictive cords during patient treatment. Without the limitations of a wired setup, hygienists can move freely around the patient’s mouth, improving their ability to access hard-to-reach areas.
The wireless configuration also simplifies the clinical setup, reduces clutter in the operatory, and contributes to a more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing treatment environment. This can be especially advantageous in modern practices where both function and patient-facing appearance matter.
Customization and Speed Control
The ACCLEAN Cordless Hygiene Handpiece is not just powerful and portable — it’s also highly customizable. The device includes a customizable color band for quick identification, a feature that proves useful in multi-operatory practices or group settings where several handpieces are in use. Color coding minimizes confusion, improves organization, and helps with equipment tracking and maintenance scheduling.
The handpiece offers six adjustable speed settings, allowing clinicians to tailor the device’s operation based on the specific cleaning task, patient sensitivity, or personal preference. This level of control is essential for optimizing both patient comfort and procedural efficiency.
In addition, Henry Schein has introduced an optional wireless foot pedal, offering hands-free speed control during procedures. This allows for even greater operational flexibility, letting hygienists maintain optimal control without breaking their clinical posture or workflow. The foot pedal is a welcome feature for those who prefer a more traditional control interface.
Compatible with Industry-Standard Prophy Angles
Compatibility is another key consideration for dental professionals when adopting new equipment. The ACCLEAN Cordless Hygiene Handpiece is designed to work with most disposable prophy angles, including Henry Schein’s own ACCCLEAN® Disposable Prophy Angles.
Each handpiece includes a sample pack of these prophy angles, which are individually wrapped for hygiene and convenience. These disposable angles are made from high-strength plastic components and feature an advanced gear design that ensures significant torque transfer and smooth operation. Their performance complements the high-powered motor of the ACCLEAN handpiece, creating a cohesive and effective hygiene system.
Built for Long-Term Hygiene and Infection Control
Infection control and equipment hygiene are top priorities in any dental practice. To meet these standards, the ACCLEAN Cordless Hygiene Handpiece features a removable, autoclavable nosecone, allowing for thorough sterilization between uses. This ensures compliance with infection control protocols and provides peace of mind for both patients and clinicians.
Moreover, the handpiece is equipped with two removable and rechargeable batteries, designed to provide all-day, long-lasting power. This dual-battery system means one battery can be in use while the other is charging, ensuring continuous availability and minimizing downtime during busy clinical schedules.
Customer-Centered Innovation
The development of the ACCLEAN Cordless Hygiene Handpiece was driven by extensive customer feedback and ongoing collaboration with dental professionals. According to Mike Nelson, Vice President of Marketing for Henry Schein Products, the company placed a strong emphasis on real-world input during the design and refinement process.
The launch of the ACCLEAN Cordless Hygiene Handpiece reinforces our commitment to offering health care professionals differentiated and best-in-class tools that help make their workflow more efficient,” said Nelson. “The ACCLEAN brand was created to offer everyday preventive products that hygienists can count on, and this product does just that. This handpiece is a direct result of extensive development and refinement informed by our customers’ insightful feedback.”
This user-driven approach is part of Henry Schein’s broader product development strategy, which focuses on delivering solutions that address the evolving challenges and expectations of the modern dental practice.
Expanding the ACCLEAN Product Family
The new cordless handpiece joins Henry Schein’s broader ACCCLEAN portfolio, a product line dedicated to providing preventive care solutions that dental hygienists and clinicians can rely on. The ACCLEAN brand encompasses a range of tools and disposables designed to meet the everyday demands of dental professionals while enhancing patient outcomes through high-quality, user-friendly design.
From disposable prophy angles and fluoride varnishes to ultrasonic scalers and now cordless handpieces, the ACCLEAN line continues to grow as a trusted name in preventive oral health care.
Supporting the Future of Dental Hygiene
With the launch of the ACCLEAN Cordless Hygiene Handpiece, Henry Schein is positioning itself at the forefront of dental hygiene innovation. The handpiece addresses multiple key trends in the industry — from the shift toward wireless and portable devices to the demand for ergonomic, hygienic, and customizable equipment.
By integrating thoughtful design with advanced engineering, Henry Schein is empowering dental hygienists with the tools they need to deliver exceptional care, work more efficiently, and protect their long-term health. For dental practices seeking a powerful, cordless solution to elevate their hygiene operations, the ACCLEAN Cordless Handpiece is a compelling new option.
