Woodpecker Woodpex III Gold (5th Generation Apex Locator)

The Woodpecker Woodpex III Gold is a fifth-generation electronic apex locator designed for endodontic professionals seeking precise, reliable working length determination. This advanced dental device utilizes multi-frequency network impedance measurement technology combined with automatic calibration to deliver exceptional accuracy, with clinical studies confirming a 97.71% accuracy rate . Unlike conventional radiographic methods, the Woodpex III Gold provides real-time file tip position visualization, significantly reducing chair time and exposure to radiation.

The device features a bright 4.5-inch color LCD screen that displays the file’s trajectory with distinct color-coded bars—white when approaching the apical foramen, green at the optimal working length, and red with a continuous audible tone when the file exceeds the foramen . This intuitive visual and auditory feedback system allows clinicians to navigate root canals with confidence, even in complex anatomical cases.

One of the standout benefits of the Woodpex III Gold is its versatility in various clinical conditions. The measurement remains accurate whether the root canal is dry or filled with electrolyte, blood, or physiological saline . All accessories, including the file clip, lip hook, and measuring wire, are autoclavable at high temperatures and pressures, effectively preventing cross-infection between patients . The foldable display allows for adjustable viewing angles, while the rechargeable lithium battery eliminates the need for repeated battery replacements.
