Surgical drill for bone drilling, diameter 1.6mm, depth 12mm - Helmut Zepf (08.524.16) - Delynov

What is the Helmut Zepf surgical bone drilling bur?

The surgical bone drilling bur, reference 08.524.16, is a rotary instrument designed by Helmut Zepf for oral surgery procedures. This device is specifically sized to offer precision drilling with a diameter of 1.6 mm. Its structure is adapted for bone preparation, allowing the practitioner to create calibrated orifices in hard tissues. As an instrument from the brand Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH, this product benefits from the expertise of a manufacturer recognized in the field of surgical instrumentation, ensuring compliance with the requirements of clinical environments for implantology and oral surgery procedures.

What are the clinical indications for this instrument?

This surgical bur is indicated for all procedures requiring initial or intermediate bone drilling. In implant surgery, it is used to mark the entry point or to prepare the pilot hole for small-diameter implants or osteosynthesis screws. It is also used in periodontal surgery or during bone harvesting to create reference points or facilitate cortical cutting. Its use is reserved for dental surgeons and stomatologists trained in rotary drilling protocols, ensuring appropriate thermal management of the bone during rotation to avoid any tissue necrosis during site preparation.

What are the technical characteristics of the 08.524.16 bur?

The technical characteristics of this Helmut Zepf instrument are defined by precise dimensions: a cutting diameter of 1.6 mm and a working depth of 12 mm. These measurements allow for rigorous control of the drilling geometry. Reference 08.524.16 indicates a specific design to fit standard surgical contra-angles used in practices. The length of 12 mm offers sufficient maneuverability for the majority of anatomical sites in the mandibular or maxillary area. The design of the working part is optimized for the evacuation of bone chips, thus limiting heating during the instrument's progression into the bone structure.

What are the contraindications for the use of this device?

Contraindications for the use of this surgical bur include clinical situations where the bone presents insufficient density or, conversely, excessive mineralization requiring specific drilling protocols incompatible with the 1.6 mm dimensions. Use is prohibited in cases of immediate proximity to critical anatomical structures, such as the inferior alveolar nerve or the maxillary sinus, if the 12 mm depth exceeds the available bone height. Additionally, any untreated local pathology or general contraindication to oral surgery must be taken into account before the use of this rotary instrument by the practitioner.

What are the maintenance and safety precautions?

Like any rotary surgical instrument, this bur requires rigorous maintenance. Although sterilization specifications are not detailed here, it is imperative to refer to the instructions from the manufacturer Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH for cleaning, disinfection, and autoclave sterilization protocols. The practitioner must check the condition of the cutting part before each use; wear or deformation can lead to a loss of cutting efficiency and an increase in frictional heat, detrimental to bone healing. Use under abundant sterile irrigation is essential to maintain the viability of osteoblasts during drilling.

Who is the manufacturer and what standards are respected?

The official manufacturer of this device is Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH, a German company renowned for the quality of its surgical instrumentation. Regarding standards and certifications, although the regulatory class and specific CE marking are not mentioned in the source data, Helmut Zepf products are generally manufactured according to high-precision standards. Practitioners are invited to consult the product labeling and technical documentation accompanying reference 08.524.16 to confirm the valid certifications of conformity. Delynov ensures the provision of devices from controlled manufacturing circuits to guarantee the safety of care in oral surgery.
