Delivery & Placement

Drive-Lock™ technology enables the smooth, simple, uninterrupted delivery from sterile package to implant site without the need for a removable implant mount. Implant delivery and placement is accomplished with a single ergonomic motion, economy of instrumentation and without deformation of the external hex prosthetic interface.

Additionally, the tip of the Drive-Lock™ is a 1.3 mm hex driver, designed to carry the cover screw to the implant and thread it into place.

A special series of Contra-Angle Drive-Lock™ Drivers are engineered with a hex configuration on the shaft. This feature mates with W&H™ latch-type contra-angle hand-pieces. High moments of torque are transferred to this hex, instead of to the conventional latch connection. (reference designated with an “H”).
