Stryker Launches TPX HD® Power Tool Supporting Demanding Orthopaedic Procedures

Stryker has introduced the TPX HD, a premium small bone power tool designed to support surgeons performing complex orthopaedic procedures, including total joint revisions, minimally invasive surgeries, and oral and maxillofacial operations.

The new system is engineered to improve performance, control, and ergonomics in demanding surgical environments where precision and reliability are critical.

According to Stryker, TPX HD was specifically developed to address challenges associated with revision surgeries and procedures involving metal cutting, where visibility and maneuverability can be limited.

Mike Carlin, President of Stryker’s Ortho Tech division, said:

“Revision procedures are some of the most demanding cases surgeons face, especially when metal cutting is involved.”

“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 device incorporates several design enhancements intended to improve usability and surgical performance. These include a tapered attachment design that improves visibility in confined operating areas and a housing structure designed to reduce heat transfer from the motor during high-speed operation.

Stryker has also introduced ergonomic improvements through a shorter handpiece design and an enhanced grip intended to improve comfort and control during procedures.

The company states that TPX HD delivers up to 296% more torque and operates up to 40% faster than the TPX Micro Drill when used at high speed.

The system also supports customizable control settings through Stryker’s CORE 2 Console. Using I.D. Touch software, surgeons can adjust drill responsiveness and sensitivity to suit individual preferences and procedural requirements.

TPX HD is compatible with a range of specialized attachments, including multiple attachment lengths and the PROStep 5:1 reducer. The system is also designed to support metal cutting, bone cement removal, and other specialized surgical applications.

The launch expands Stryker’s portfolio of orthopaedic surgical technologies aimed at improving procedural efficiency and supporting better surgical outcomes.
