The Morelli Long Contra-Angle Pick-Up Driver is a 41 mm hexagonal driver used to pick up, insert and remove orthodontic mini-implants (TADs) with a contra-angle handpiece. Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, it is the longest stem of the three Morelli contra-angle pick-up drivers and belongs to the Morelli Orthodontic Mini Screw Tool Kit.
Key Features
Longest stem of the family — at 41 mm it keeps the handpiece head away from the operative field when the insertion site sits deep in the posterior arch.
Contra-angle mounting — driven by the handpiece rather than by hand, for continuous and controlled rotation during insertion and removal.
Hexagonal pick-up engagement — the hexagonal socket holds the mini-implant head, so the screw travels from the tray to the insertion site on the driver itself.
High-grade stainless steel — resists wear and deformation of the hexagonal socket over repeated clinical use.
Part of the Morelli mini screw system — interchangeable with the medium and short contra-angle drivers of the same tool kit.

Clinical Applications
Posterior mini-implant placement — reaches insertion sites in the posterior region where a shorter stem leaves no clearance for the handpiece head.
Skeletal anchorage — installs the mini-screws that provide bone-borne anchorage instead of anchorage taken from adjacent teeth.
Mini-implant removal — engages the same hexagonal head for controlled reverse rotation at the end of treatment.
Long, medium or short?
The three Morelli contra-angle pick-up drivers differ only in stem length: 41 mm (long), 24 mm (medium) and 8 mm (short). Take the long driver when the site is posterior or hard to reach and the handpiece head needs to stay clear of the cheek and the adjacent teeth; the medium and short versions become the better choice as access improves toward the anterior region.
