W&H Medical Launches an Innovative Surgical Console
W&H Medical has recently made waves in the surgical equipment market with the launch of its Piezo & Drill Combination Console. This remarkable device is now the only one of its kind to receive FDA clearance in the United States, providing a unique blend of advanced piezo technology and high-performance surgical motor specifically designed to meet the needs of facial plastic surgery.
Setting a New Standard in Rhinoplasty and Facial Surgery
Debuting at the renowned surgical showcase, "Bringing You The Masters," this console represents a significant leap in surgical technology. Celebrated facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Aaron Kosins and Dr. Dean Toriumi, demonstrated the console’s capabilities during their advanced Preservation Rhinoplasty courses. With surgical precision and versatility being its hallmark, the console aims to redefine how facial plastic, ENT, and craniomaxillofacial (CMF) procedures are executed.
Innovative Design and Features
The
Piezo & Drill Combination Console integrates WH's state-of-the-art Piezomed Pro alongside the Amadeo surgical motor, providing surgeons with the ability to switch effortlessly between ultrasonic and rotary instruments mid-procedure. From contouring bone during rhinoplasties to carrying out more extensive facial reconstructions, this modular system is engineered for optimal control, efficiency, and adaptability—all pivotal components for modern surgical practices.
Enhanced Patient Outcomes
The benefits of this console extend beyond just the surgeons; they notably include improved patient outcomes. By harnessing high-frequency piezo technology, the device ensures highly precise cutting of bone, minimizing trauma to surrounding nerves, vessels, and soft tissues. Furthermore, the powerful Amadeo motor delivers consistent torque which is crucial for operations that require both finesse and strength. Key advantages observed in clinical settings include:
- - Reduced post-operative swelling and pain
- - Accelerated healing and recovery for patients
- - Higher safety and overall comfort during procedures
Ergonomically Designed for Surgeons
Every aspect of the console supports a streamlined workflow aimed at maximizing surgical efficiency. It features an ergonomic piezo handpiece providing superior access, along with a wireless foot control and an integrated irrigation system that promises seamless operation. A reliable tip changer also allows for quick and secure transitions between instruments.
Recommendations from Leading Experts
Reputable figures such as Dr. Kosins and Dr. Toriumi are staunch advocates of this innovative technology, asserting that it significantly enhances surgical precision and the quality of patient results. Dr. Kosins particularly noted, “The dual ability to use piezosurgery and burs is a major advancement for rhinoplasty surgeons. This device is by far the most efficient piezoelectric handpiece I've ever utilized.” He highlighted that the improved workflow enables surgeons to switch between tools with ease, leading to faster operations and enhanced results.
Specialized Tips for Specific Needs
To further enhance the utility of this console, WH Medical has collaborated with leading experts to develop three specialized tip sets tailored for distinct surgical applications:
- - CMF Set: Specifically designed for craniomaxillofacial procedures
- - Rhino Basic Set: Perfect for open rhinoplasties
- - Rhino Advanced Set: Tailored for closed rhinoplasties
Dr. Milos Kovacevic, an ENT specialist and facial plastic surgeon involved in the device’s development, emphasized its all-in-one structure. “By integrating ultrasonic technology and burs into one device, we've significantly improved the safety and accuracy of surgeries,” he stated.
