B10 I N DUST RY Implant Tribune U.S. Edition | March 2017 W&H Implantmed SI-1015: Respects your needs By W&H Staff introduced the W&H Im- plantmed surgical unit in 2001. The company as- serts it’s a high-quality device — safe, simple to use with a high degree of precision and lexible applica- tion options. The new generation builds on those tried-and-tested features and adds an array of all new beneits: a color touchscreen interface, a wireless foot pedal, shorter/lighter and more power- ful motor with LED+ capability and a unique ISQ module for assessing the sta- bility of an implant. W&H Implantmed SI-1015 supports practitioners for both oral surgery and implantology. Improved safety Immediate load … early load … or the con- ventional route? Deciding on the best time for loading implants is becoming more complex when trying to take into account all of a patient’s risk factors. The integrated automatic thread- cutter function and precise torque con- trol actively help the operator during implant placement — especially in dense bone. Using the documentation func- tion stores all parameters, the implant insertion torque/time graph, optional ISQ measurement data, documentation ID and tooth position on a USB stick for patient records. As an option, the W&H Osstell ISQ (Im- plant Stability Quotient) module for the Implantmed SI-1015 is a non-invasive measuring system of primary stability/ osseointegration. At left, the new Implantmed SI-1015. Below left, the W&H Osstell ISQ module. Below right, the irrigation tubing can be loaded easily, quickly and safely in a sterile environment. Photos/Provided by W&H Combining the detailed insertion torque graph with the ISQ measurement reduces risk in deciding optimum load- ing time and assists in monitoring osseo- integration of an implant. Simplicity: New color touchscreen user interface and redesigned pump The new Implantmed SI-1015’s user inter- face helps the practice team to stream- line. A high-tech color touchscreen with a tempered glass surface makes it easy to operate and disinfect. The logically designed navigation system and the cus- tomizable programs allow the operator to focus on the surgery. The Implantmed can be customized for up to six individual users for reduced risk in group practices using multiple implant brands and their individual protocols. Staff will appreciate the redesigned cool- ant pump as the irrigation tubing can now be loaded faster under sterile conditions. Precise: Powerful motor and new surgical handpieces with LED+ In its class, the new motor is the stron- gest (6.2 Ncm), lightest and shortest. The ergonomic shape and balance combined with a W&H handpiece reduces operator physical strain. Five new short surgical handpieces with LED+ fully illuminate — regardless of the motor speed. Quality stainless steel with scratch- resistant coating is best for a gloved hand, optimum hygiene and will preserve the “as new” appearance, according to the company. Flexibility: Wireless multi- functional, multi-device foot pedal The new optional wireless foot pedal of- fers even greater lexibility and conve- nience, according to the company. The Implantmed can be operated easily with the foot control as an alternative to the touchscreen. One foot pedal can be used with multiple W&H devices (Piezomed, etc.). ‘The logically designed navigation system and the customizable programs allow the operator to focus on the surgery.’
