The two handpieces, a modular device and dedicated reciprocating saw, are driven by a power unit featuring a high-capacity Li-ion battery and electronic control unit. The power unit has a life of more than 1,000 use-and-charging cycles.

According to the company, care teams can use an aseptic transfer technique to insert the power unit into the handpieces. This will reduce exposure to cleaning and sterilisation procedures, thereby enhancing reliability and extending lifespan.
