The auto handpiece holder with top lockout is a space-saving solution for dental operatories. It automatically activates your handpiece when removed from the holder and shutting it off when returned. The convenient top-mounted lockout toggle gives you instant on/off control without reaching for foot pedals, improving workflow efficiency and reducing assistant fatigue during procedures.
