Titanium Micro-Suction Cannula ⌀ 1.5 mm for Sinus - Helmut Zepf (19.651.15M) - Delynov

What is the Helmut Zepf titanium suction micro-cannula?

The titanium suction micro-cannula developed by Helmut Zepf is a specialized surgical device with a 1.5 mm diameter (reference 19.651.15M). This instrument is specifically designed to meet the requirements of titanium sinus suction, offering a structure adapted to demanding surgical environments. Although the body of the instrument is mentioned in connection with titanium in its commercial name, the manufacturer specifies that contact with the instrument, composed of medical stainless steel, must be monitored in case of hypersensitivity. This Class I device is a precision tool for fluid management in oral surgery.

What are the clinical indications for this micro cannula?

This surgical suction micro cannula is indicated for the periodic or continuous suction of body cavities or wounds during an intervention. In sinus or implant surgery, it allows for the efficient removal of loose tissue, blood, irrigation solutions, and other residues from the operative field. Its primary role is to guarantee a clear visual field for the practitioner, thus facilitating access to the delicate anatomical structures of the sinus. The use of this sinus suction micro cannula is therefore essential for maintaining constant and precise visibility during critical phases of the surgical intervention.

What are the technical characteristics of reference 19.651.15M?

Reference 19.651.15M from Helmut Zepf is characterized by a diameter of 1.5 mm, optimized for dental surgical suction in narrow areas. This device belongs to Class I according to medical device regulations. It is delivered non-sterile by Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH and requires a full cycle of cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization before the first use and between each patient. Its robust design allows for repeated use, although it is the practitioner's responsibility to check for the absence of visible damage, cracks, or defects on the edges before any intervention.

What are the contraindications for the use of this instrument?

The main medical contraindication documented by the manufacturer Helmut Zepf concerns metal intolerance. Contact with the instrument can trigger a hypersensitivity reaction in patients allergic to the components of medical stainless steel. If such a reaction occurs during the intervention, the suction procedure must be immediately interrupted and appropriate medical measures must be initiated. It is therefore imperative to check the patient's allergic history before using this micro-cannula in the context of oral or sinus surgery.

What are the maintenance and reprocessing precautions?

Being delivered non-sterile, this device must imperatively be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized before its first use. The reprocessing process must be rigorous: each product must be inspected to detect any wear, cracks, or breakage. Due to its technical design and the materials used, there is no defined maximum limit of treatment cycles, but the use of damaged products is strictly prohibited. Compatibility with other suction devices must also be verified beforehand by the healthcare professional to ensure the proper functioning of the surgical suction system.

Who is the manufacturer and what standards are respected?

The micro-cannula is manufactured by Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH, a recognized manufacturer located in Seitingen-Oberflacht, Germany. This medical device is listed as Class I, in accordance with the regulatory requirements in force for non-invasive or invasive surgical instruments for temporary use. Compliance with cleaning and sterilization protocols is the responsibility of the healthcare professional, in accordance with the instructions provided by Helmut Zepf. This product is exclusively reserved for professional use by qualified practitioners in dental and maxillofacial surgery.
