Approximal elevator kit for dental surgery, set of 5 instruments - Helmut Zepf (17.007.75) - Delynov

What is the Helmut Zepf approximal elevator kit?

The Helmut Zepf approximal elevator kit, referenced under code 17.007.75, is a set of 5 specialized instruments for dental surgery. This set is designed by Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH, a manufacturer recognized for its high-precision instruments. This surgical extraction kit brings together several types of elevators intended for the manipulation of hard tissues and the luxation of roots. Each instrument in this dental elevator set features a specific geometry to adapt to different areas of the arch and the varied root configurations encountered during clinical interventions.

What are the clinical indications for this instrument set?

This dental elevator set is primarily indicated for simple or complex extraction procedures in oral surgery. It is used for the separation of the periodontal ligament and the mobilization of the root before its final removal. Practitioners use these instruments for the luxation of wisdom teeth, the extraction of fractured roots, or the management of root fragments. In implantology, the use of this approximal elevator set allows for the careful preparation of the alveolar site. The different shapes included in the kit allow access to narrow interproximal spaces, thus facilitating the work of the dental surgeon during avulsions.

What are the technical characteristics of the 17.007.75 kit?

The Helmut Zepf approximal elevator kit (reference 17.007.75) consists of five distinct instruments. Although the specific dimensions of each tip are not detailed here, the design of this root elevator set is based on the expertise of Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH in manual instrumentation. Each elevator is structured to offer a grip adapted to the leverage forces required during luxation. The configuration of the kit covers a wide spectrum of clinical needs, ranging from standard proximal elevation to the retrieval of deeper fragments in the socket, thus ensuring technical versatility during extraction phases.

What are the contraindications for the use of these instruments?

The contraindications related to the use of this elevator set are primarily clinical and depend on the patient's general health status or the surrounding bone structure. The use of these instruments is contraindicated in cases of a major risk of jaw fracture or excessive proximity to critical anatomical structures (inferior alveolar nerve, maxillary sinus) without prior planning. Additionally, as with any metallic instrument, a known hypersensitivity or allergy to the alloy components constitutes a contraindication. It is the practitioner's responsibility to evaluate the benefit-risk ratio based on the patient's periodontal situation and bone density before any manipulation.

What are the maintenance and storage precautions?

As these are reusable surgical instruments, this surgical extraction kit must strictly follow a decontamination, cleaning, and sterilization protocol after each use. It is recommended to refer to the cleaning instructions provided by Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH to preserve the integrity of the active tips and handles. Instruments must be inspected before each intervention to detect any signs of wear, corrosion, or deformation. Steam autoclave sterilization is the standard method, respecting the temperature and pressure cycles recommended by the manufacturer to ensure patient safety and equipment longevity.

Who is the manufacturer and what standards are met?

The official manufacturer of this device is Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH, a German company specializing in high-quality dental instrumentation. As a recognized manufacturer, Helmut Zepf subjects its production processes to strict controls. For information regarding the regulatory class, CE marking, or specific certifications (ISO), healthcare professionals are invited to consult the technical instructions or the original labeling supplied with reference 17.007.75. This approximal elevator kit is distributed by Delynov to meet the requirements of dental surgeons and implantologists seeking reliable instruments for their daily practice in a clinic or hospital environment.

State of the art

Single-use sterile surgical kits significantly reduce intraoperative contamination.
