Angular Shape Attachment Bar for Dental Implant - Helmut Zepf (10.036.02) - Delynov

What is the Helmut Zepf 10.036.02 angular attachment bar?

The dental implant attachment bar, reference 10.036.02 from Helmut Zepf, is a specialized manual instrument designed for restorative dentistry and implantology. Manufactured from high-quality medical stainless steel, this tool features a specific angular shape to facilitate the handling of prosthetic bars. As a Class I device, it meets the safety requirements for implant prosthesis instrumentation. Its robust structure allows for a reliable grip by the practitioner during the adjustment stages of infrastructures on implants, ensuring precise integration of prosthetic components in the mouth.

What are the clinical indications for this instrument?

This instrument is indicated for all clinical phases requiring the handling of an implant attachment bar. It is particularly used by dental surgeons and implantologists during the fitting, positioning, or removal of conjunction bars. Its use is essential to ensure the stability of the implant attachment bar during screw-retained procedures or passivity checks. The angular design of this Helmut Zepf instrument allows for effective intervention in anatomically difficult-to-access sectors, thus optimizing the workflow during the placement of implant-stabilized removable prostheses.

What are the technical characteristics of this device?

The Helmut Zepf instrument (reference 10.036.02) is distinguished by its manufacture in medical stainless steel, a material chosen for its resistance to repeated sterilization cycles. Its main technical characteristic lies in its angular shape, specifically studied for implant prosthesis instrumentation. This device is delivered non-sterile and must imperatively undergo a cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization protocol before each use. Although there is no defined maximum limit for processing cycles, the practitioner must inspect the instrument for any visible damage such as cracks or defects on the edges before use.

What are the contraindications for the use of this instrument?

The main medical contraindication concerns metal intolerance or hypersensitivity in the patient. Contact with the medical stainless steel composing the instrument may trigger an allergic reaction. If such a hypersensitivity reaction occurs during the intervention, the procedure must be stopped immediately and the necessary medical measures must be taken. Furthermore, it is strictly contraindicated to use this instrument if it shows visible signs of wear, breakage, or structural defects, as this could compromise patient safety and the precision of the clinical gesture.

What are the maintenance and reprocessing precautions?

Like any reusable manual dental instrument from Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH, this device must be fully cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized before the first use and after each subsequent use. It is crucial to check compatibility with other products used simultaneously. Due to its design and the materials used, the manufacturer does not define a maximum limit for reprocessing cycles, but the user must remain vigilant regarding the appearance of damage such as cracks or deformations. The use of damaged or worn products is strictly prohibited to maintain the integrity of care.

Who is the manufacturer and what standards are respected?

The device is manufactured by Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH, located in Seitingen-Oberflacht, Germany. This recognized manufacturer complies with rigorous quality standards for the production of surgical instruments.
