Does my transmission instrument need maintenance?
Whether using straight or contra-angle handpieces, couplings or turbines all transmission instruments can fail. We recommend annual maintenance for all your instruments, to maximise their service life and minimise downtime. Whether your instruments are maintained regularly or not, it is worth knowing the signs that indicate a need for maintenance or repair. Look out for the following signs that your transmission instrument may need maintenance or repair:
• Increased heat from the instrument
• Unusually strong vibrations
• Increased volume
• Lower power/speed
• Reduced bur holding force
• Decreasing light intensity/light fluctuations
• Reduced spray intensity/spray fluctuations
• Coolant failure or leakage
If you notice one or more of the above contact an authorised "W&H service partner". -
Safety technical checks for medical devices
To ensure safety of users, patients and third parties, medical electrical devices must be checked regularly. For this reason, the Medical Devices Act provides safety checks. During the check, it is determined whether a device is functional, electrically safe and in proper condition at the time of inspection. The safety check must be carried out every three years or according to the manufacturer's instructions. For W&H devices such as Implantmed or Piezomed, the safety check is mandatory every three years. National regulations can include exceptions for shorter inspection periods.
The safety check may only be carried out by qualified companies and institutions. These companies confirm the proper functioning of the devices and thus ensure the safety of patients, users and third parties.
Safety checks are necessary for all W&H stand-alone devices, including: Implantmed, Elcomed, Piezomed, Pyon, Tigon/Tigon+ or Proxeo Ultra.

What are maintenance kits? And why are they so smart?
All equipment is exposed to a certain amount of wear over time. This wear may be aesthetic or more importantly cause a system fault. Maintenance kits are designed to reduce this as they contain the spare parts that need to be replaced on a regular basis, no more and no less!
Maintenance kits are designed either for end users or for service partners and are tailored to a defined product. A popular example are our maintenance kits for W&H sterilizers, which are normally used to carry out the recommended service after 800 or 4,000 sterilization cycles.
• Service after 800 cycles: Do it yourself! The spare parts included in the maintenance kit can be replaced by the end user. The costs can be calculated exactly. Using original spare parts contributes to the long service life of the sterilizer.
• Service after 4,000 cycles: The service after 4,000 cycles can only be carried out by an authorized service technician or a specialist workshop. The device must be opened and the parts included in the maintenance kit must be replaced. The costs for this can also be calculated exactly.
Maintenance kits thus offer absolute cost transparency. The advantage over purchasing individual spare parts is obvious. For information on all available maintenance kits, please contact your

Perfect cleaning – without tools
Surgical interventions are always challenging. So, in order to meet the high hygiene requirements, the W&H S and WS surgical handpiece ranges allow for quick easy disassembly quickly and easily. This is simple to do and does not require tools. Effective cleaning also extends the service life of your instruments. The surgical straight and contra-angle handpieces can then be reassembled just as quickly and easily.
How to properly disassemble and reassemble our surgical contra-angle handpiece WS-75 is shown in this "video".
