he new W&H surgical handpiece features yet another
breakthrough in LED lighting
with the introduction of the
Mini LED+ which provides outstanding
light in an incredibly small package just
half the size of previous LED’s.
A-dec W&H product manager, Shal
Hafiz, said W&H invented the concept
of using LEDs in dental handpieces
and has been continually evolving the
design, making it a clear leader in
the field.
“The new Mini LED is now inbuilt
into the tip of the instrument, with the
slimmer head design and LED+ lighting
together offering superior visibility of the
treatment site. The unique self-generating power supply means no special
cabling is required.
“Importantly, W&H’s patented LED+
daylight quality light provides natural
reproduction of red tones in the oral
cavity providing a realistic view of gum
and soft tissue health,” Mr Hafiz said.
New improved grip design
The all-new surgical handpiece range
features a new contoured grip with a
special ‘cut-out’ design that prevents the
finger slipping forward during a procedure, allowing more precise control of
the instrument.
Left or right handed
For the first time, W&H has also introduced the choice of removable left and
right-handed spray clips. This means
cooling can be tailored to individual
operators without affecting visibility. “In
the past, the cooling tube could obstruct
visibility in certain situations. Now the
coolant tube can be simply moved to
the other side of the instrument when
The new W&H
surgical handpieces
feature a non-slip
grip, left or right
handed cooling

light for superior
visibility
required such as working in the opposite
quadrant,” Mr Hafiz explained.
New 45° surgical contra angle
Another innovation from W&H is the
world’s first true 45° head contra-angle
surgical handpiece, combining the
advantages of straight and contraangle handpieces for the first time.
The 45° angle allows considerably
better access and much better visibility of the treatment site. This is particularly helpful in the surgical extraction
of wisdom teeth, precise tooth separa-
tions and apical resections.
The surgical handpieces are made
of durable and high-quality stainless
steel with a scratch-resistant coating,
can be fully dismantled for cleaning and maintenance, and are fully
thermo-washer disinfectible
and sterilisable.
