Alegra Contra-angle Handpieces with LED+ light
Outer diameter of the sheath: 20 mm
More colour. More contrast. LED+
LED+ contra-angle handpieces from W&H offer an incomparably high colour rendering index (CRI). The self-generated LED light is of daylight quality, renders colours naturally and is many times brighter than a conventional halogen light.
Your advantages at a glance
- Independent sterilizable LED light
- High colour rendering index of more than 90
- Robust design
- Thermo washer disinfectable and sterilizable
Daylight quality LED+Visual clarity
A high CRI value significantly improves people‘s sense of wellbeing and ensures greater visibility. Perfect colour rendering has an index of 100. Conventional LEDs only have a CRI of between 60 and 80 and are ineffective in reproducing red tones.
LED+ contra-angle handpieces from W&H use a new technology: The result is a CRI of more than 90 which means clear colour contrasts and exceptional reproduction of natural red tones in the mouth.
Absolutely independentMicromotor on = LED+ on
The generator is integrated into the Alegra contra-angle handpieces and is completely independent. Therefore an external power supply is not required. The unique W&H LED+ generator technology ensures perfect LED+ quality, regardless of whether the dental unit, coupling or micromotor is equipped with its own light source.

FAQs
-
Why does the WE-99 contra-angle handpiece have a transmission ratio of 1:4.5?
The optimum speed of fast-running burs can easily be achieved using the WE-99. more
-
Can the HE-43 E handpiece be employed in surgical applications?
The handpieces in the new Alegra range have been tested and approved for the following applications removing cariogenic materials, preparing cavities and crowns, removing fillings and finishing tooth and restoration surfaces. The use of the handpieces in other application areas is not permitted and the user bears all responsibility in cases where this instruction is disregarded. more
- Can LED instruments with generator be sterilized?
-
Can the new Alegra instruments be connected to motors with a light supply?
Yes, the straight and contra-angle handpieces of the new Alegra range can be used on any motor with an ISO connection. . more
-
What are the advantages of the new Alegra instruments?
Compatible LED light – the instruments in the new Alegra range have LED light, which is supplied with energy by an integrated generator. The instruments are therefore independent of the light supply of the motor and the dental unit and offer the possibility of working with light compatible with any unit. The technology of the integrated generator means that there is only illumination when the instrument is running. more
-
For what reason may the LED fail to light up?
Because the energy for the LED light in the new Alegra instruments is generated by an integrated generator, the brightness of the LED depends on the motor speed (at least 9.000rpm). more
-
Is more heat generated by the light source when LED technology is employed?
No, because they are usually operated with coolant air. In addition, the LED contra-angle handpieces are equipped with an internal spray function, which guarantees additional cooling. more
-
Can my W&H handpiece be processed via sterilizer.
Yes, providing that your W&H handpiece carries the relevant sterilization symbol.
more
-
What is the difference between the Alegra contra-angle handpieces WE-56 T and WE-56?
Alegra contra-angle handpieces designated with the letter "T" are significantly lighter in weight. Alegra contra-angle handpieces that are not designated with the letter "T" have been approved for automated thermo washer disinfection. more
