The Valdent USA Molt #9 Dental Periosteal Elevator is a crucial, dual-ended surgical instrument designed for efficient and atraumatic reflection and retraction of the mucoperiosteum. Made from durable surgical-grade stainless steel, this elevator is a staple for periodontal, implant, and oral surgery procedures.
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual-Ended Versatility: The instrument features two distinct, non-cutting working ends for clinical versatility: a broad, rounded blade (typically 7.5mm to 8mm wide) for general, gentle tissue reflection and a narrow, pointed blade (typically 3.5mm to 4.3mm wide) for initial lifting of the flap and accessing confined interproximal areas.
- Atraumatic Tissue Handling: The non-cutting, smooth, and contoured tips are specifically designed to separate the periosteum from the underlying bone with minimal risk of tearing or damaging delicate soft tissue.
- Premium Material: Crafted from high-quality, corrosion-resistant surgical stainless steel, ensuring long-term durability, a high degree of aesthetic appeal, and resistance to repeated sterilization cycles.
- Ergonomic Design: The instrument features a textured or knurled handle that provides a secure, comfortable, and slip-resistant grip, even when wet. This design enhances control and minimizes hand fatigue during extended surgical procedures.
- Reusable and Autoclavable: Fully autoclavable up to 136°C (275°F), this elevator meets stringent hygiene standards and is built for repetitive use in a professional clinical setting.
- Packaging: The product is supplied as a single instrument (1/Pk).
