- A cutting instrument used to cleave (split) and refine enamel during cavity preparations
Features:
- Marginal preparation:
- Particularly useful for forming clean line angles on anterior (front) preparations
- Bi-angle design:
- Features a specific angulation, with the blades angled in two directions relative to the handle
- The designation 15-8-8 refers to its dimensions, which describe the width and angle of the working ends
- Ergonomic design:
- Has a large-diameter, ultra-lightweight, solid resin handle with extended knurling in "Alabaster Gray"
- This design improves grip, enhances tactile sensitivity, and helps reduce hand fatigue and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome
- Superior materials:
- Working ends are made from cryogenically treated 440A surgical stainless steel
- This process makes them harder, sharper, and tougher, allowing them to hold their edge longer
- Manufacturing:
- The instrument is handcrafted in the USA
