According to Premier Product Manager, Joe Yeager : "At dental shows, both dentists and hygienists have the same initial response when visiting the Premier Booth and picking up a Big Easy™ Ultralite™, 'It's surprising light.'" Big Easy Ultralite scalers and curettes are the only instruments that combine a solid resin handle with the medical-grade Big Easy silicone grips. This combination provides one of the largest and lightest instruments available with a passive feedback system to avoid squeezing too tightly.

According to Yeager, "Our pre-market survey clearly showed dentists and especially hygienists enjoyed the chance to use this new instrument". At only 16 grams* per instrument, clinicians report that hand fatigue has been reduced dramatically or even eliminated by using the Big Easy Ultralite.

To help clinicians appreciate the Big Easy Ultralite, Premier has equipped retailers with a convenient demo kit to show the Big Easy Ultralite to their customers.

Premier 's Big Easy Ultralite offers the following:

• Low weight – The solid resin handle weighs up to 30% less than other hygiene instruments.
• Large diameter – The ½”grip is the largest diameter available.
• Comfort – Low weight and large diameter make the Big Easy Ultralite extremely comfortable to use.
• Durable – A solid resin core and a bushing-free assembly mean that the handles will not crack, even after repeated sterilization.
• Convenient – Sterilizable by any means.
• Attractive – The purple color is appealing and non-threatening to clinicians and patients alike.

Ergonomics is an aspect of dentistry that is increasingly more important. Premier Dental continues to lead the way in helping clinicians avoid hand fatigue and repetitive-motion disorders, starting with the introduction of the large, hollow handle “Light Touch™” hygiene instruments and continuing with the Big Easy. Big Easy Ultralite is the pinnacle achievement in ergonomic hygiene instruments, combining an extremely light handle with the passive feedback system generated by the Big Easy grips.
