O dizajnu Arc Prhalna vodna nitka

ARC je prhalna vodna nitka, zasnovana tako, da se vklopi v dnevno rutino prhanja. ARC se pritrdi na cev za prho in izkorišča obstoječi vodni tlak, zato ne potrebuje elektrike ali baterij. Ročaj vsebuje zamenljivo štirismerno glavo z vodnim curkom, ki očisti med zobmi in vzdolž dlesni. Trije nastavljivi načini omogočajo nežnejši ali močnejši pretok vode, večfunkcijski gumb pa preklaplja med vodnimi curki. Kompaktna, proti vlagi odporna postaja za shranjevanje z magnetnim pritrditvenim mehanizmom drži ARC, ko ni v uporabi.
