W & H Handpieces - Alegra Straight and Contra-angle Handpieces
W & H's Entry Level Handpieces
Category: Dental Handpieces
Alegra Straight and Contra-angle Handpieces are available in two different options, with or without LED light. The contra-angle is the more popular option as this ergonomic design allows optimal view of the area in focus. The Alegra range is a more ergonomic focused range of the W & H collection.
Alegra Straight and Contra-angle Handpieces without Light
These are robust and durable. External coolant supply (spray clip, coolant hose, nozzle cleaner) are available as accessories with this option.
Alegra Straight and Contra-angle Handpieces with LED+ Light
These come with an independent sterilizable LED light. These LED+ contra-angle handpieces from W&H offer an incomparably high colour rendering index (CRI). The self-generated LED light is of daylight quality, renders colours naturally and is many times brighter than a conventional halogen light.
W&H are industry leaders from Austria and are very well respected amongst the dental community. W&H can assure their customers quality, craftsmanship and reliability in every product.
Alegra Straight and Contra-angle Handpieces have a range of key features:

Thermo Washer Disinfectable and Sterilisable

Perfect Balance
The straight or contra-angle handpiece is comfortable in the hand, and perfectly balanced with the micro air motor.
Easy bur Change
Applications on the handpieces can be changed easily and quickly, allowing operatives to save time when busy.
