W&H Medical has introduced the Piezo & Drill Combination Console, the only FDA-cleared U.S. device combining piezo technology and a surgical drill for facial procedures.
W&H Medical announced the launch of its Piezo & Drill Combination Console. According to the company, it is the only FDA-cleared medical device in the United States that integrates advanced piezoelectric technology with a high-performance surgical drill. The system is designed for facial plastic surgery, ENT, rhinoplasty, and craniomaxillofacial procedures.
Launch Event at Bringing You The Masters
The device will be showcased at the upcoming Bringing You The Masters meeting, taking place November 14 to 16 in Ft Lauderdale, Fla. Dr Aaron Kosins and Dr Dean Toriumi will use the console during Preservation Rhinoplasty courses at the event.
Modular System for Greater Flexibility
The system integrates the W&H Piezomed Pro and Amadeo surgical motor into a modular unit. This configuration allows surgeons to switch between ultrasonic and rotary instrumentation during procedures. Applications include bone contouring in rhinoplasty and other facial reconstruction surgeries.
Precision and Tissue Protection
The console’s piezo technology allows for precise, tissue-sparing bone cutting, helping to protect nerves, vessels, and soft tissues, according to the company. The Amadeo motor provides consistent torque for procedures requiring greater force. W&H cites clinical advantages such as reduced swelling, faster healing, and improved patient comfort.
Features for Surgical Efficiency
The console includes an ergonomic handpiece, wireless foot control, and a single irrigation system. A durable tip changer is designed for faster instrument exchanges.
Kosins stated, “I would highly recommend this innovative and intuitive technological advancement for any rhinoplasty surgeon. The dual ability to use piezosurgery, as well as burs, is a real step forward in my practice. I have been using piezosurgery in my practice since 2013. This specific device is the most efficient piezoelectric handpiece I have ever used, with multiple tips that are strong and precise. I always wanted to have the ability to use burs, but the setup was very cumbersome. Now, with one foot pedal and one irrigation system, I can seamlessly switch back and forth between the different handpieces. My results have definitely improved, as well as the speed of the operation.”
Tip Sets Developed with Surgeons
W&H developed three specialized tip sets in collaboration with facial plastic and ENT surgeons: the CMF Set for craniomaxillofacial use, the Rhino Basic Set for open rhinoplasty, and the Rhino Advanced Set for closed rhinoplasty.
“For me, the new surgical system from W&H MED is an all-in-one solution, as ultrasonic technology and burs are integrated in one device. I was involved in the development of the exclusive piezo tip set for dorsal preservation. With it, we have made the surgery even safer because subdorsal structures and radix can be treated more gently,” said Dr Milos Kovacevic.
Exclusive Distribution Through Marina Medical
The Piezo & Drill Combination Console is available exclusively through Marina Medical Instruments. “We’re excited to partner with Marina Medical, a respected name in the medical community known for their deep industry expertise and outstanding customer service,” said Rick Pinero, general manager of W&H Medical North America. “Their commitment to supporting surgeons with high-quality solutions aligns perfectly with our mission to advance surgical care.”
