What is the Helmut Zepf scale elevator (24.751.204R-TI)?

The M4X0.5 scale elevator for implantology for coloring, referenced under code 24.751.204R-TI, is a manual instrument designed by Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH. This device is specifically developed for use within the framework of implant surgery. Manufactured from medical stainless steel, it serves as a precision accessory intended to optimize the visibility and reliability of measurements during interventions. This implantology scale elevator meets the requirements of practitioners seeking a reliable tool to calibrate their interventions with accuracy, while respecting the quality standards of German manufacturing.

What are the clinical indications for this scale elevator?

This device is indicated as a manual instrument for oral surgery and implantology procedures. Its primary role is to serve as an implant scale elevator, allowing for easier reading of depth or distance measurements during the preparation of the implant site. It is used by dental surgeons and implantologists to ensure increased precision in the positioning of implant components. As an implant measurement accessory, it facilitates the transition between different surgical steps by offering a measurement interface adapted to the specificities of each clinical case, thus ensuring better management of the available space.

What are the technical characteristics of the M4X0.5 elevator?

The Helmut Zepf scale elevator is distinguished by its precise technical specifications, notably its M4X0.5 thread, identified by the technical reference 24.751.204R-TI. Designed for coloring and measurement, this instrument is manufactured from high-quality medical stainless steel, ensuring the necessary resistance to repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles. This scale elevator for implantology is delivered non-sterile, in accordance with standard protocols for reusable instruments. Its design allows for fluid integration with other measuring instruments in the Helmut Zepf range, provided that compatibility is verified beforehand by the healthcare professional before any use.

What are the contraindications for the use of this instrument?

The main contraindication to the use of this instrument is known hypersensitivity or intolerance to metals, and more particularly to the components of medical stainless steel, in the patient. If an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity is triggered upon contact with the instrument, the surgical procedure must be immediately interrupted. Appropriate medical measures must then be taken to manage the patient's reaction. It is therefore imperative for the practitioner to check the patient's allergic history before any intervention involving this implant scale elevator in order to prevent any undesirable side effects related to the materials.

What are the maintenance and reprocessing precautions?

The Helmut Zepf scale elevator is a reusable device that must imperatively be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized before the first use and after each subsequent use. The manufacturer emphasizes the crucial importance of visual inspection before each intervention: any product showing visible damage, such as cracks, breaks, or defects on the edges, must never be used. Due to its design and the materials used, there is no defined maximum limit of processing cycles, but natural wear requires constant vigilance from the practitioner. Sterilization must follow the standard protocols in force for medical stainless steel instruments.

Who is the manufacturer and what standards are respected?

The scale elevator is manufactured by Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH, a recognized company located in Seitingen-Oberflacht, Germany. This medical device belongs to Class I (Class Ir according to the manufacturer's mentions). As a Class I device, it meets the regulatory requirements for safety and performance for non-invasive or invasive manual instruments for temporary use. Compliance with cleaning and sterilization protocols is essential to maintain product conformity during its clinical use. This product is exclusively reserved for use by qualified healthcare professionals in the field of dental and implant surgery.
