Introducing the ZimVie TSX Kit

Only avaiable to U.S. customers

Every implant case is different. From straightforward single-tooth replacements to complex full-arch reconstructions, today's implant clinicians need surgical kits that adapt to their workflow—not the other way around.

That's why ZimVie developed the TSX Kit, a next-generation modular implant surgical system launching in 2026. Designed for oral surgeons, periodontists, and general dentists who place implants, the TSX Kit eliminates the guesswork from case planning while giving you the clinical versatility to say yes to more patients.

Unlike traditional surgical kits that lock you into a single implant line, the TSX Kit offers compatibility across ZimVie's TSX, TSV, and Eztetic implant platforms. Combined with an intuitive, color-coded drilling protocol and customizable modular organization, the TSX Kit represents a fundamental shift in how implant practices can streamline chairside efficiency without sacrificing clinical precision.

Whether you're expanding your implant services or optimizing an established practice, the TSX Kit is engineered to grow with you. 

Product Overview: What Is the TSX Kit?

The ZimVie TSX Kit is a comprehensive, modular dental implant surgical system that consolidates drilling, tooling, and restorative instrumentation into one organized, scalable platform.

Core Design Philosophy

The TSX Kit is built around three core principles:

  1. Clinical Versatility – Handle any case complexity with one integrated system
  2. Workflow Flexibility – Customize your kit configuration to match your practice needs
  3. Confidence to Say Yes – Take on more patients with streamlined case planning

Two-Level Architecture

The TSX Kit features an innovative two-level design:

  • Top Level: Core surgical tooling and drilling instrumentation

  • Lower Level: Customizable module slots for specialized instruments

This architecture allows clinicians to keep essential tools readily accessible while tailoring the kit with add-on modules based on their clinical focus.

Behind the Innovation: Insights from the Product Team

The TSX Kit wasn't designed in a vacuum—it was built from direct feedback from clinicians who wanted more flexibility without more complexity.

"The TSX Kit is organized into intuitive modules that integrate seamlessly into your workflow."

— ZimVie Product Team

During the product development process, the team focused on eliminating common pain points:

The Problem of Tool Searching

"No more searching for tools. Your restorative torque wrenches are conveniently there when you need them."

This insight drove the modular organization system, where every instrument has a designated, logical home within the kit.

The Challenge of Practice Growth

"You can scale your capabilities as your practice grows. Start with what you need today. Expand tomorrow."

Rather than forcing clinicians to purchase multiple kits as their case complexity increases, the TSX Kit grows with the practice through add-on modules.

The Full-Arch Workflow

"For anyone following a full arch protocol, we have a full arch module for organized chairside seating of universal multi-unit abutments and components. This also includes angled screw channel drivers for the tie bases."

This module keeps full-arch instrumentation at your fingertips—a game-changer for practices expanding into implant-supported prosthetics.

Clinical Scenario: Streamlining a Complex Case Day

The Situation: Dr. Martinez runs a busy periodontal practice with a diverse caseload. On a typical surgical day, she might place a single TSX implant in the morning for a straightforward #19 replacement, followed by an immediate dense bone sub-crestal case in the esthetic requiring a narrow implant with precise bone profiling, and finish with a full-arch conversion using multi-unit abutments.

Before the TSX Kit: Dr. Martinez needed three different surgical set-ups, with her assistant constantly swapping trays and searching for the right drivers and tooling between cases. Turnover time ate into productivity.

With the TSX Kit: All three cases flow from one organized system. The drill module handles all osteotomy preparations with clear color-coded guidance. The bone profiler module is ready for the Eztetic Implant case. The full-arch module keeps MUA components and angled drivers organized for the final case. Her assistant stages implants in the six dedicated spots..

The Result: Reduced chairside time, fewer instrument searches, and a streamlined workflow that lets Dr. Martinez focus on clinical excellence rather than logistics.
