PL-44 Contra-Angle Handpiece Head
The W&H PL-44 Contra-Angle Handpiece Head is a replaceable contra-angle head designed for the W&H Proxeo and Proxeo Twist polishing systems. It interfaces with a 4:1 reduction straight or drive unit (e.g. PL-40 HW cordless system), transforming into a contra-angle polishing tool built for prophylaxis work.
Why Choose The W&H PL-44 Contra-Angle Handpiece Head?
Optimised for Polishing and Prophylaxis- With a 4:1 gear reduction, the PL-44 slows motor speed down to a safe, torque-rich range---ideal for controlled polishing with minimal splatter or heat generation. This ensures gentle yet effective cleaning, even on sensitive enamel or restorations.
Excellent Access and Visibility- The contra-angled design with a compact head allows easy to access to posterior teeth and hard-to-reach areas. Perfect for both adult and paediatric, patients, it improves visibility and ergonomica during long procedures.
Seamless Compatibility with Proxeo Systems- PL-44 is designed specifically for W&H's Proxeo and Proxeo Twist systems. It attaches quickly and securely to straight handpieces or cordless units, making it a versatile addition to your existing setup.
Safe and Reliable Chuck System- Engineered for use with plastic-shank disposable prophy angles, the PL-44's push-button chuck ensures a strong grip without damaging internal components--reducing wear and increasing handpiece longevity.
Built for Hygiene and Longevity- Featuring a sealed system and thermo-disinfectable construction, the PL-44 is easy to clean, sterilise and maintain. Its durable build resists paste and debris infiltration, extending the lifespan of the head and protecting internal mechanisms.
