BIOLASE Technology, Inc. Releases
State-Of-The-Art MVP Delivery System and Disposable
Tips
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- BIOLASE TECHNOLOGY, INC. (Nasdaq:
BLTI - news) announced the release of the MVP Laser Delivery System for use with the Millennium
Hydrokinetic(TM) hard and soft tissue dental laser. The Micro Versa Prep-Hydrokinetic System
(MVP-HS) incorporates state-of-the-art design and laser optics, clinical superiority and ergonomic
design to provide dentists around the world with the most advanced laser delivery system available.
The MVP includes the significant addition of a line of disposable tips that can be used for a variety of
clinical procedures. The tips can be easily and quickly changed, even during procedures. The tips
will be available in a variety of lengths, diameters and shapes for expanded capabilities. These
include a 400 micron tapered tip for micro dentistry that allows dentists to efficiently treat small pits
and fissures in enamel and difficult to reach soft tissue sites, 500 and 600 micron tips that rapidly cut
both hard and soft tissue at lower energy levels and a 750 micron tip that allows for quick removal of
enamel, dentin, caries and soft tissue over large areas. In addition to the clinical advantages to the
dentists, BIOLASE anticipates that the MVP line of disposable tips will provide an important source
of recurring revenue to the company.
The MVP's new proprietary, advanced laser optics significantly increases its efficiency and expands
the capabilities of the system. This significantly increases the cutting speed of the Millennium on
enamel, dentin and caries, allowing dentists to perform more procedures in less time.
The user-friendly MVP handpiece rotates 360 degrees to allow greater ease accessing all areas of
the mouth and increased intra-oral visibility for the clinician. Its small size, ergonomic design and
support arm eliminates fatigue and provides more comfort when using the Millennium for long
periods of time. The MVP also offers dental offices maximum sterility with the ability to autoclave the
system.
The complete MVP system will be available to existing Millennium owners as an upgrade for a
special offer of $3,900.
Jeffrey W. Jones, BIOLASE President and CEO, commented, ''The MVP demonstrates our
responsiveness to the needs of both dentists and their patients. The goal of dentists around the world
is to improve the standard of care for their patients. BIOLASE is providing them with the most
advanced tools to achieve this goal. We are committed to the pursuit of painless procedures and this
new delivery system represents a major achievement in providing the patient with painless dentistry in
most cases.''
