"Revision procedures are some of the most demanding cases surgeons face, especially when metal cutting is involved," said Mike Carlin, president of Stryker's Ortho Tech division. "TPX HD was designed with those moments in mind, when visibility is limited, precision matters and surgeons need a tool they can trust to perform."
TPX HD incorporates several design features aimed at improving performance and usability, including a tapered attachment design for improved visibility in confined spaces, a housing designed to act as a barrier for motor heat at high speeds and enhanced ergonomics through a shorter handpiece length and improved grip.*
Key system features include:
- Power and speed, delivering up to
296% more torque** and40% faster performance* compared to the TPX Micro Drill at high speed - Customizable control, enabled via I.D. Touch software within Stryker's CORE™ 2 Console, allowing surgeons to tailor drill response and sensitivity
- Specialized attachments, including multiple attachment lengths, a PROStep™ 5:1 reducer and capability for metal and bone cement cutting and removal
