- Designed for use in surgical procedures, particularly those involving the manipulation of soft tissue flaps
Features:
- Double-ended design:
- The instrument has a working end on both sides, making it versatile for different areas of the mouth
- Soft brushing action:
- The instrument is specifically designed to "brush" the periosteum (the membrane covering the bone) without making incisions
- Surgical stainless steel:
- Made of surgical stainless steel, ensuring durability and compatibility with sterilization procedures
Applications:
- The ST-UP2 is primarily used in dental and periodontal surgeries where extending the soft tissue flap is necessary, for example, during:
- Guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures
- Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures
- Gingival recession procedures
- Sinus augmentation procedures
- Socket preservation procedures
- Facial esthetic procedures
- Orthopedic procedures
- Dermal regeneration procedure
Purpose:
- The primary purpose of the ST-UP2 is to extend soft tissue flaps without the need for additional incisions
- It achieves this by:
- Disorganizing collagen fibers:
- The instrument's brushing action helps to separate the collagen fibers of the fibrous periosteum
- Reducing flap stiffness:
- This disorganization reduces the stiffness of the flap, allowing it to be released further
- Minimizing trauma:
- By avoiding incisions, the ST-UP2 helps to extend the flap significantly with minimal trauma to the tissues
