The Woodpecker Woodpex V is an FDA-cleared professional digital apex locator for accurate electronic working length determination during root canal treatment. Using multi-frequency impedance technology, it tracks file position in real time and delivers visual feedback through a large 4.5-inch foldable color LCD, complemented by progressive audio alerts that intensify as the file approaches the apical constriction. A reported 98% clinical accuracy rate, automatic calibration on startup, and reliable performance in both wet and dry canals make it a dependable instrument for routine and complex endodontic cases. Its built-in 750 mAh rechargeable battery provides cordless operation throughout the clinical day, and a 5-year PCB warranty reflects confidence in the device's long-term reliability.

1
Power On and Calibrate: Turn on the Woodpex V and allow automatic calibration to complete. Check battery level before beginning.
2
Attach Lip Clip: Secure the lip clip to the patient's oral mucosa to establish the reference circuit.
3
Connect File Clip: Attach the file clip to the endodontic hand file being used for working length determination.
4
Advance and Monitor: Slowly advance the file into the canal while watching the LCD zone bars, file trajectory graphic, and numerical readout.
5
Stop at Reference Point: Halt advancement when the display reaches the red zone and the continuous audio alarm sounds, indicating the preset apical reference.
6
Confirm and Record: Confirm the working length before proceeding with canal preparation. Verify radiographically where indicated by clinical protocol.

Autoclave Clips After Each Patient

The lip clip and file clip are autoclavable. Sterilize all patient-contacting accessories between procedures.

Do Not Autoclave the Wire

The measuring wire must be disinfected manually with approved surface disinfectant only. Never autoclave it.

Monitor Battery Level

Recharge when the low-battery indicator appears to avoid measurement interruptions during procedures.

Store Dry

Store the unit in a clean, dry environment away from excessive moisture and direct water exposure.

Professional use only: This is a prescription-grade professional endodontic device intended exclusively for use by qualified dental professionals. Electronic working length measurements complement but do not replace radiographic assessment. Autoclave the lip clip and file clip between patients. The measuring wire must never be autoclaved. Follow current infection control guidelines and applicable local regulatory requirements. Regulatory and compliance documentation for your export destination is available on request before purchase.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
