De Soutter Medical – Powered surgical instruments for orthopedics and traumatology
De Soutter Medical is a manufacturer and supplier of powered surgical instruments specializing in orthopedics and traumatology. The company has long established itself as a global leader in the development, manufacture, and distribution of electric and pneumatic systems for bone cutting and drilling.
The portfolio covers solutions for both “large bone” and “small bone” procedures, including modular systems with accessories. For large bone procedures, it offers, for example, the orthodrive® lite—a lightweight, high-performance battery-powered system designed for flexibility in the operating room. The pneumatic alternative is the MultiDrive™ MPX-610, a compact modular series with a best-in-class power-to-weight ratio for traumatology and demanding orthopedic procedures.
An important component is the CleanCast™ plaster saws and extraction systems (e.g., CC series models), which combine an ergonomic grip, multi-stage speed control, and integrated dust filtration options for a cleaner working environment. For small bone procedures and traumatology, the modular electric traumadrive™ (MBU) platform is available, which can be powered by sterile or aseptic batteries or a mains power source depending on the facility’s requirements.
Battery technologies are based on sterile Li-ion cells with an improved capacity-to-weight ratio, integrated charge indication, and longer instrument runtime—beneficial for both surgical technicians and the operating team. The product range is complemented by a wide selection of attachments, drills, saw blades, burrs, and Stericut® disposable instruments for precise cutting and milling.
The solutions are designed for heavy-duty use, easy decontamination, and workflow standardization—from outpatient procedures to complex operating room setups. For healthcare facilities that demand reliable performance, ergonomics, and the choice between battery-powered and pneumatic drive, this brand represents a stable partner with a comprehensive portfolio, support, and service.
