Manufactured from high-quality medical stainless steel by Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH, it features precise cutting edges that require rigorous visual inspection before each use. The manufacturer specifies that the instrument is delivered non-sterile and must undergo a complete cycle of cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization before its first use, as well as between each patient.
