Stryker (NYSE: SYK) announced the launch of its TPX HD power tool designed for orthopedic procedures including total joint revisions, minimally invasive surgery and oral maxillofacial procedures.

The small bone power tool delivers up to 296% more torque and 40% faster performance compared to the TPX Micro Drill at high speed, according to the company. The device features a tapered attachment design for visibility in confined spaces and a housing designed to act as a heat barrier at high speeds.

"Revision procedures are some of the most demanding cases surgeons face, especially when metal cutting is involved," said Mike Carlin, president of Stryker's Ortho Tech division. "TPX HD was designed with those moments in mind, when visibility is limited, precision matters and surgeons need a tool they can trust to perform."

The system includes customizable control through I.D. Touch software within Stryker's CORE 2 Console, allowing surgeons to adjust drill response and sensitivity. The tool offers multiple attachment lengths, a PROStep 5:1 reducer and capabilities for metal and bone cement cutting and removal.

The device features enhanced ergonomics through a shorter handpiece length and improved grip compared to the TPX Micro Drill. The company states the tool is designed to support performance, control and ergonomics in challenging orthopedic procedures.
