Hand pain and sharpening doubt have one thing in common: the edge.

96%
of hygienists surveyed reported musculoskeletal pain1
40%
felt only “somewhat confident” at sharpening2

Dull instruments are a major contributor to hand pain. ErgoSharp helps you get the edge right.

Hand pain? Follow it back.

Diagram: hand pain traces back to ergonomics: wrist position plus force. Wrist position traces back to the instrument angle (is it on the designed angle?), and force traces back to sharpness (sharp or dull?). Both start with how the instrument was sharpened. Your patient feels it too, as a heavy hand.

Questions

Will it work with my sharpening stone?

ErgoSharp works with most flat stones, such as Arkansas stones, blue and white stones, and diamond cards.

Which instruments can I sharpen with it?

You can sharpen any instrument designed with a 110° angle between the edge and the face, such as Gracey curettes, universal curettes and sickle scalers. You can even sharpen spoon-shaped instruments, as Deb demonstrates here.

How does it attach to my stone?

ErgoSharp attaches with the gel pads supplied with every purchase. The pads are reusable, washable and long-lasting. For oiled stones or whetstones, use the rubber bands, also included. You can watch our video on the gel pads and setting up your ErgoSharp here.

How do I charge it, and how long does a charge last?

Charge ErgoSharp with the supplied USB cord from any standard USB power port. A red light shows while it charges and turns off when charging is complete. A full charge typically lasts 1–2 weeks of normal clinical use.
