Advanced technology and innovative design have enabled Hu-Friedy to produce a superior composite instrument: Satin Steel™ XTS™. XTS composite instruments allow for exceptional non-stick placement of materials without discoloring the restoration. Studies indicate Aluminum Titanium Nitride (AlTiN) coatings are consistently harder, smoother and stick less as compared to Titanium coatings. Additionally, Hu-Friedy XTS instruments are made from Immunity Steel™ for longer life. XTS Instruments Features & Benefits:

• Distinctive Black Finish ? Enhanced contrast between instrument, tooth structure and composite material. The black finish will not flake or discolor the restoration.
• Unique Smooth, Large, Lightweight Handle Design ? Easy clean-up, maximum comfort, reduced hand fatigue and an increased level of control.*
• Quality Craftsmanship & Variety of Designs ? Satin Steel XTS instruments offer unsurpassed performance and an extensive assortment of designs for all composite placement needs.
