Forest for dental implant VIS BENEX Ø 1.6 mm, length 10 mm - Helmut Zepf (12.300.60) - Delynov

What is the VIS BENEX Ø 1.6 mm dental implant drill?

The VIS BENEX dental implant drill, reference 12.300.60, is a precision rotary instrument developed by Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH. This device is characterized by a diameter of 1.6 mm and a working length of 10 mm. It is specifically designed for use in guided bone regeneration (GBR) surgeries and implant procedures. As a surgical drill, it allows for direct action on mineralized tissues to prepare for the placement of fixation devices or to facilitate certain extraction steps. Its structure is optimized to meet the requirements of modern oral surgery, ensuring smooth integration into the surgical protocols of specialized practices.

What are the clinical indications for this Helmut Zepf drill?

This implant drill is indicated for oral surgery interventions requiring small-diameter drilling. It is primarily used for preparing reception sites for fixation screws in GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration) protocols. Its 1.6 mm dimension makes it particularly suitable for clinical situations where space is restricted or when a minimally invasive approach is preferred by the practitioner. It can also serve as a root extraction drill in complex cases where root separation or peripheral bone clearance is necessary before avulsion. Its use is strictly reserved for dental surgeons, stomatologists, and implantologists trained in rotary bone surgery techniques.

What are the technical specifications of the 12.300.60 drill?

The Helmut Zepf drill reference 12.300.60 features precise technical specifications to ensure consistent performance. It has a cutting diameter of 1.6 mm, allowing for the creation of calibrated drill holes. Its total length of 10 mm is adapted to standard drilling depths encountered in implantology and periodontal surgery. This dental implant drill is designed to fit conventional surgical contra-angles. The geometry of its flutes is engineered by Helmut Zepf to promote the evacuation of bone debris during rotation, thereby limiting thermal heating of surrounding tissues, provided that the recommended irrigation protocols for any surgical rotary instrumentation are followed.

What are the contraindications for the use of this device?

Contraindications for the use of the VIS BENEX Ø 1.6 mm drill are related to the general limits of oral surgery and implantology. It must not be used if the bone volume is insufficient to support a 10 mm deep drilling without risking damage to critical anatomical structures, such as the inferior alveolar nerve or the maxillary sinus. Furthermore, the use of this surgical drill is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled systemic pathologies affecting bone healing or in case of general contraindications to local anesthesia or surgical acts. The practitioner must ensure the absence of acute infection at the surgical site before any rotary intervention.

What are the precautions for use and maintenance?

The use of the Helmut Zepf dental implant drill requires particular vigilance regarding rotation speed and irrigation. Abundant cooling with a sterile saline solution is imperative to prevent thermal necrosis of the alveolar bone. Before each use, the practitioner must inspect the instrument for any signs of wear, deformation, or loss of sharpness, as a dull drill increases the necessary pressure and the risk of overheating. Regarding the reprocessing cycle, it is necessary to strictly follow the cleaning, disinfection, and autoclave sterilization protocols recommended by the manufacturer Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH for reusable devices, in order to guarantee asepsis and the longevity of the tool.

Who is the manufacturer and what standards are respected?

The official manufacturer of this device is Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH, a recognized manufacturer in the field of high-precision dental and surgical instrumentation. This drill is produced according to rigorous manufacturing standards specific to the German medical industry. Although specific details of the regulatory class or CE marking are not mentioned in the simplified technical documentation, this product is intended exclusively for professional use in a sterile environment. For any information regarding specific certifications, applied ISO standards, or to consult the declaration of conformity, it is recommended to systematically refer to the instructions for use provided by Helmut Zepf or to contact the Delynov technical service directly.
