WoodPecker LX16 Plus

WoodPecker LX16 Plus: three wavelengths

The supplied manufacturer catalogue lists 450 ± 20 nm, 650 ± 20 nm and 976 ± 20 nm wavelengths. Maximum optical power is given separately for each wavelength: 3 W at 450 nm, 200 mW at 650 nm and 5 W at 976 nm. These are wavelength-specific values, not a combined output rating. The blue wavelength, red wavelength and infrared wavelength have different clinical roles and should not be treated as interchangeable simply because they are available in the same device.

Blue laser for soft-tissue procedures

WoodPecker describes the 450 nm blue laser for soft-tissue cutting, ablation, coagulation and incision or excision. This can be relevant to clinicians evaluating a dental laser for oral soft-tissue work. Selection of a procedure requires professional assessment of the patient and the current device instructions. The product page does not replace clinical training or provide a treatment protocol. The correct accessory, wavelength and operating parameters must be selected for the indicated application.

Red and infrared therapy functions

The catalogue describes 650 nm for low-level laser therapy and photobiomodulation-related applications. It describes 976 nm for reduction of bacteria in periodontal and endodontic applications and for additional therapy functions. These descriptions identify the manufacturer’s stated application areas; they do not promise a clinical outcome in every case. A laser should be incorporated into a professionally selected treatment approach, with indications and contraindications checked against the current instructions supplied with the ordered unit.

Emission modes and aiming beam

WoodPecker LX16 Plus supports continuous-wave emission and a chopped mode. The catalogue lists a chopped frequency range from 1 Hz to 20 kHz. An aiming beam is also listed at 650 ± 20 nm with maximum power below 5 mW. The aiming beam specification is separate from the 650 nm therapeutic output. This distinction matters when reviewing the device specifications. The operating interface should be used according to the manufacturer manual, with parameters chosen for the specific procedure.

Laser classification and professional operation

The catalogue identifies the 450 nm and 976 nm laser systems as Class IV and the 650 nm system as Class II according to IEC 60825-1. A practice should arrange suitable training, wavelength-appropriate eye protection and a controlled treatment environment before using WoodPecker LX16 Plus. Confirm the current laser classification and safety instructions on the delivered device. Accessory cleaning, tip handling and maintenance must follow the exact instructions applicable to the purchased configuration.

Equipment planning for clinics in Africa

For dental practices across Africa, laser procurement includes more than selecting a device. Check access to compatible treatment tips, protective eyewear, technical support and staff training. The catalogue lists a battery configuration of 11.1 V, 2600 mAh × 2, with a stated capacity of 57.7 Wh. This describes the battery configuration and does not establish continuous clinical runtime. Confirm the adapter requirements, supplied accessories and destination-specific delivery details before placing the order.

Choose the package for your practice

The commercial package should be matched to the treatments the clinic plans to provide. Ask Denta24 to confirm handpieces, fibres or tips, eyewear, charging components and any additional accessories included in the quotation. Do not assume that every accessory pictured in marketing material is included. Shipping weight, package dimensions, warranty and installation arrangements are not established by the supplied catalogue. Those details should be recorded on the final supplier quotation for the exact unit.
