Important Compatibility Notice
Do not purchase by brand name alone. Woodpecker, EMS-style, DTE and Satelec-type scaler systems use different handpiece connections. Even two non-LED handpieces may have different fittings.
The HW-3H is not automatically interchangeable with the HW-5L, HD-7H or HD-7L. Compare the base of the existing handpiece and the scaler-hose connector with the product photographs. When uncertain, share photographs of the scaler model label, hose connector and existing handpiece base with Gold Cura.
Common Compatible Configurations
HW-3H handpieces are commonly associated with selected non-LED Woodpecker UDS configurations and compatible EMS-type scaler systems. Examples can include non-LED versions within the UDS-N2, UDS-A, UDS-E, UDS-K, UDS-L and UDS-P families. Production versions and hose connectors can differ, so the exact equipment manual and connector must be checked.
Not Suitable For
- LED or optic handpiece connections
- Units requiring electrical contacts for illumination
- Satelec/DTE-type HD-7H or HD-7L connections
- EMS-type LED HW-5L connections unless the equipment manufacturer confirms interchangeability
- Magnetostrictive ultrasonic scaler systems

How to Confirm Compatibility
- Confirm that the existing handpiece is non-LED.
- Check the scaler model and equipment manual.
- Inspect the hose connector and verify an EMS-type 3-hole fitting.
- Confirm that the scaler uses EMS-style compatible tips.
- Compare the existing handpiece base with the product photographs.
- Send Gold Cura connector photographs when uncertain.
Directions for Use and Care
- Switch off the scaler before connecting or removing the handpiece.
- Inspect the connector, O-rings, hose, handpiece body and scaler tip.
- Align the matching connector and attach without forcing it.
- Install an approved compatible tip using the correct torque wrench.
- Confirm adequate water flow before treatment.
- After use, remove the tip and handpiece according to the equipment instructions.
- Clean, inspect, package and sterilize according to the supplied reprocessing instructions.
- Allow the handpiece to cool and dry fully before storage or reconnection.
Stop use if the handpiece is cracked, leaking, unusually hot, producing irregular vibration or unable to maintain water flow.
