W&H is highlighting with their product compass the synergies between the medical device manufacturer’s products.
At the heart of the workflow-driven solution is the Implantmed Plus, the reliable W&H motor for implantology and oral surgery. With the Piezomed module as an easy plug and play solution, W&H is changing the way oral surgeons work: thanks to the unique device combination, users have all the advantages of precise ultrasonic technology at their disposal.
A wide variety of surgical applications can thus be covered. With the slogan “Oral surgery and implantology in perfect harmony for your treatment success”, the W&H Group sums up the interaction between the surgical devices and Osstell’s innovative method for measuring implant stability.
Dr. Anthony Chellappah, a highly skilled Specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon has equipped his practice in the Northern Beaches Hospital with the latest W&H innovations to perform implants and major oral surgeries, including bimaxillary osteotomies.
As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr Chellappah uses W&H equipment daily and because of his vast depth of experience with the company’s products throughout his career has also become a W&H Ambassador.
He uses W&H’s award-winning ‘Implantmed’ surgical motors and the Piezomed Module, which simply adds to the Implantmed, to enable him to perform piezo surgery using the same Implantmed drive unit and controller.
Dr Chellappah said the Piezomed module allows surgery to be performed with a great deal of precision and minimal trauma. This also greatly speeds healing time.
“The Implantmed is the most-used device in my practice. It’s very rare in the wisdom tooth cases that come to me, to use extraction forceps alone. Most require tooth sectioning and/or some extent of bone removal,” he said. “The reason I like the Implantmed is that it is like a ‘hot knife through butter’, but at the same time it has a tactile feel. Using the Implantmed you can feel the difference between tooth and bone. “By comparison, some other types of surgical equipment can demolish everything in their path and it’s hard to know what you are doing because its lacks the tactile feel of the Implantmed,” he said. “When performing sinus lifts, bone graft harvesting and osteotomies, the Piezomed is ideal. All cuts can be done with absolute precision and the piezo surgical saw will not cut through nerves and soft tissues. “When you combine the Piezomed module with good planning, you reduce the time taken to do the surgery, lessen trauma to the patient, get better results and much faster healing time.”
For more than 20 years, Implantmed from W&H has been helping clinics and dental practices ensure that their work processes are safe and efficient.
W&H is a digital pioneer and has been providing software updates for its Implantmed products for many years now, an approach that sets it apart from other manufacturers. The medical technology company also follows sustainable business practices, and takes into account key factors such as repairability, durability and upgradeability when developing its products. This helps to extend the service life of these products and conserve resources in the process.
And it does not stop here – Implantmed Plus will offers soon a surgical device with the unique ioDent® system. The Internet of Things (IoT) has become reality in dental practice, with W&H offering intelligent and connected product solutions in dentistry under the digital brand ioDent®IOD. The intelligent W&H solution increases safety in the clinic and resources can be planned in advance.
