Important Compatibility Notice

Do not purchase by brand name or LED status alone. The HW-5L is not automatically interchangeable with HW-3H, HD-7H or HD-7L. EMS-type and Satelec/DTE-type systems use different connector families, and LED and non-LED versions can also use different contacts.

Compare the base of the current handpiece, hose connector and electrical contact arrangement with the product photographs. When uncertain, share photographs of the scaler model label, connector and existing handpiece base with Gold Cura.

Common Compatible Configurations

HW-5L handpieces are commonly associated with compatible LED versions within Woodpecker UDS families such as UDS-A LED, UDS-E LED, UDS-K LED, UDS-L LED, UDS-N2 LED, UDS-N3 LED and UDS-P LED, as well as selected compatible EMS-type LED systems. Production versions can differ, so verify the exact equipment manual and connector.

Not Suitable For

• Non-LED or no-light HW-3H connections unless the equipment manufacturer confirms interchangeability
• Satelec/DTE-type HD-7H or HD-7L connections
• Units without the matching LED/optic contacts
• Magnetostrictive ultrasonic scaler systems

Benefits of LED Illumination

• Helps illuminate the area around the scaler tip
• Supports visibility during detailed scaling and periodontal procedures
• May assist access around posterior and difficult-to-view areas

Visibility also depends on the dental operating light, water spray, access, tip selection and practitioner technique.

How to Confirm Compatibility

1. Confirm that the scaler and current handpiece support LED illumination.
2. Check the scaler model and equipment manual.
3. Inspect the hose connector and electrical contacts.
4. Confirm an EMS-type compatible connection and EMS-style tip family.
5. Compare the handpiece base with the product photographs.
6. Send Gold Cura connector photographs when uncertain.

Directions for Use and Care

1. Switch off the scaler before connecting or removing the handpiece.
2. Inspect the LED area, contacts, connector, O-rings, hose and scaler tip.
3. Align the matching connector and attach without forcing it.
4. Install an approved compatible tip using the correct torque wrench.
5. Confirm that the LED and water flow work correctly before treatment.
6. After use, remove the tip and handpiece according to the equipment instructions.
7. Clean, inspect, package and sterilize according to the supplied reprocessing instructions.
8. Allow the handpiece to cool and dry fully before storage or reconnection.

Stop use if the LED fails, the handpiece is cracked or leaking, becomes unusually hot, produces irregular vibration or cannot maintain water flow.
