Picture mectron Piezosurgery touch

The Future of Bone Surgery

When mectron introduced PIEZOSURGERY® in 2001, the technology revolutionary for bone surgery. The device provided precision, safety, ergonomics and high quality performance for surgeons all around the world. Soon this new technology became the benchmark for bone surgery devices.

In 2011, mectron raised the bar again with the PIEZOSURGERY® touch. Features include an exclusive black glass touch screen, an intuitive user interface, and a rotatable LED handpiece, which provides for a new level of ergonomics.

So get ready for selecting bone quality and irrigation flow rate at the touch of your finger – get ready for the new PIEZOSURGERY® touch.

Equipment set

  • 1 PIEZOSURGERY® touch unit
  • 1 LED-handpiece, complete with cord
  • 1 torque wrench K8
  • 1 carrying case

METHOD PIEZOSURGERY®: EVIDENCED-BASED

With over 12 years of successful clinical research, the original PIEZOSURGERY® method is the only one supported by more than 120 clinical and scientific studies. 

 

 

Clinical Advantages

When it comes to cutting bone, the use of traditional burs and saws are an option. They do cut bone – but they do not differentiate: any soft tissue getting in the way can also be damaged.

The patented ultrasonic microvibrations of the original PIEZOSURGERY® cuts bone – and nothing else. No soft tissue is damaged, which allows you to work with a precision that facilitates not only surgery itself, but reduces postoperative discomfort for your patients at the same time.

Micrometric cuts

PIEZOSURGERY® provides micrometric cuts for minimally invasive surgeries with maximum surgical precision and intra-operative tactile sensation.

Selective cuts

Selective cuts protects any kind of soft tissue. Nerves, vessels and membranes will not be injured while cutting bone. Thus, PIEZOSURGERY® offers maximum safety for surgeons and patients.

Cavitation effect

PIEZOSURGERY® offers maximum intra-operative visibility. The cavitation effect of the ultrasonic movements lead to a blood-free surgical site.

patient's benefit

  • soft tissue will be protected, f.e. in lateral sinus lift surgery the risk of perforation is reduced over 80%
  • less swelling after surgery with PIEZOSURGERY®
  • faster and better osseointegration after implant site preparation with PIEZOSURGERY®
  • faster and less traumatic post-operative recovery
