Mectron's combined tabletop system pairs piezo ultrasonic scaling with air polishing. Documented features and powders, plus how it sits next to the other combined systems.
The Mectron Combi Touch is a combined tabletop system (ultrasonic scaling plus air polishing) made in Italy. It has a glass touch panel, dual powder chambers, a 55 g air-polishing handpiece and temperature-controlled water. It runs Mectron's softM/softL sodium bicarbonate (~55 µm) and Sensitive+ glycine (~25 µm) powders.
Mectron does not market a branded multi-step protocol; the device is used within conventional prophylaxis.
Mectron is an Italian manufacturer based in Carasco (Genoa) that makes combined tabletop systems and piezoelectric ultrasonics. Its Multipiezo scaler family, with multiple tip designs and frequency control, predates the Combi Touch and is broader than it.

A 510(k) decision means "substantially equivalent" to a predicate; it is not FDA approval. A missing record means we could not verify it, not that the device cannot be sold.
