Bürmoos – The W&H Group, a family-run company based in Bürmoos, Austria, is one of the top five leading manufacturers of rotating dental instruments in the world. Established in 1890 by the precision engineers Weber and Hampel, the company was acquired by the Malata Family in 1958. Innovative product and service solutions, a strong focus on research and development, vision and social responsibility have made W&H a successful local and global player.
The W&H Group employs a staff of around 645 in Bürmoos and 1,005 around the world, and has an annual turnover of approx. 130 million Euros (2007).

Surgical straight and contra-angle handpieces with LED and generator
W&H surgical straight and contra-angle handpieces have also been fitted with LED and generator since 2007. This means that natural white light can also be used in surgery. En clair: Independant of the operation unit - with or without light - the new surgical instruments with integrated generator allow operations with best possible LED illumination.

Surgical suction
This new suction method is perfectly suited to use in jaw surgery and implantology. Until now, the separation filter in the vacuum pump would constantly become blocked or overflow. Surgical suction from W&H solves this problem for the dentist in a very simple way: no vacuum pump and no electricity supply means the op area is kept clean. Simple suction and the law of gravity mean blood, liquid and saliva are collected in a special container. This protects the suction equipment in the dental unit and thus reduces maintenance costs for the dentist, as well as giving him greater security during surgical intervention.
