DE SOUTTER WZ-451

Wire/pin driver

REF: 17190

Good condition

FEATURES:

• Modular attachment: The WZ-451 is an attachment for the MPZ modular handpiece system (MPZ-451 being the foot-pedal controlled handpiece).
• Function: Designed to drive or remove wires/pins — e.g. K-wires or pins used in small-bone / trauma surgical procedures.
• Operating speed: Up to ~ 1000 rpm (for the wire-driver attachment).
• Air-powered instrument: Works with compressed air (or nitrogen) supply — the MPZ-451 handpiece runs with pneumatic motor.
• Cannulation / Wire diameter range: Compatible with wires/pins within a certain diameter range (for WZ-450 attachment it is 0.6–1.8 mm; for the pin driver variant PZ-450, 1.8–3.2 mm) — WZ-451 being the “wire/pin driver” attachment set.
• Safety & operation requirements: The wire or pin must be clean, straight, and not bent. Use a “wire/pin guard” during driving or removal to prevent projections.
• Compatibility with modular system: Because it’s an attachment rather than a standalone tool, you need the corresponding handpiece (MPZ-451) to use it — this allows switching between attachments (drill, saw, reamer, wire driver, etc.) on the same motor base.
• Ease of sterilization / reprocessing instructions: As with other MPZ system attachments, there is a defined reprocessing and sterilization protocol (cleaning, sterilization, disinfection) before reuse in surgical context.
