KaVo launches MASTERmatic M45L high-speed handpiece
New high-speed handpiece with compact head design improves access to posterior and paediatric cases.
KaVo has introduced the MASTERmatic M45L, a new high-speed handpiece designed for improved access, visibility, and precision in routine dental procedures. The device operates at speeds up to 168,000 rpm with a 1:4.2 speed ratio and accommodates bur lengths of up to 25mm.
Key design features and specifications
The M45L combines a compact head with ergonomic design to improve visibility in difficult-to-access areas, particularly when treating children and senior patients. The handpiece includes KaVo's Plasmatec coating for grip and hygiene, an ultra-durable FG chuck with carbide guide bushing, and ceramic ball bearings for low-vibration operation at 55 dB(A). Bur retention is secured at 30N of retention power with centric, precise rotation. Illumination reaches 25,000 lux via a glass rod conductor, and internal cooling through the CoolHead Technology prevents overheating. The handpiece features a changeable water filter for self-maintenance and carries a 24-month warranty.
Intended clinical applications
The M45L is suitable for carious material removal, hard tooth structure reduction, cavity and crown preparations, root canal access, filling removal, tooth preparation finishing, restorations, and polishing. KaVo manufactures the handpiece in Germany. The retail price in the UK is £1,094 plus VAT.
