- A precision dental instrument specifically designed for the atraumatic removal of fractured root fragments from the periodontal socket
Uses
- Root Tip Retrieval:
- Specifically engineered to retrieve small root tips or fragments that have fractured or become embedded during a primary extraction
- Apical Access:
- The specialized tip allows for deep reach into the socket (apical access) to gently tease out fragments
- Dental and Veterinary Care:
- Used in human oral surgery as well as in veterinary dental procedures
- Atraumatic Luxation:
- Uses a gentle luxating motion to sever the periodontal ligament and ease root fragments from the bone, minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue
Features
- Straight Pattern:
- Designed as a straight instrument, making it highly effective for reaching deep or hard-to-reach areas within a socket
- Delicate Beak/Spoon Tip:
- Features a finely crafted, delicate tip often described as a small beak or spoon shape, contoured for precision
- German Stainless Steel:
- Manufactured from OR-grade, high-quality German stainless steel for exceptional strength and corrosion resistance
- One-Piece Construction:
- The working tip is permanently welded into the handle, creating a seamless tool with no cracks or plating to peel, ensuring bacterial traps are eliminated
- Ergonomic Handle:
- Features a standard handle with convenient finger platforms that assist in proper hand alignment and provide better tactile sensitivity
Benefits
- Superior Control:
- The finger platforms and ergonomic handle allow for high tactile sensitivity, which is critical when navigating delicate surgical sites
- Faster Patient Healing:
- Because the instrument is designed for atraumatic removal with minimal force, it helps preserve the alveolar bone structure, promoting quicker recovery
- Exceptional Durability:
- The all-stainless steel handle offers twice the strength of traditional brass or chrome-plated handles, ensuring longevity even after repeated sterilization
- Reliability:
- Each instrument is etched with the catalog number for easy identification, and its seamless construction maintains integrity through intensive autoclave sterilization
