What are the clinical indications for this instrument?

This surgical cutting forceps is primarily indicated for oral surgery procedures requiring modification of the bone structure. It is used to section or remove bone fragments during alveoloplasties, ridge regularizations, or implant site preparations. The dental bone cutting forceps allows the surgeon to reshape bone contours efficiently. Its use is strictly reserved for qualified healthcare professionals working in implant, periodontal, or maxillofacial surgery contexts where a clean bone resection is necessary for therapeutic success.

What are the technical characteristics of the 42.620.18 forceps?

The Helmut Zepf RUSKIN-LISTON forceps is distinguished by its medical stainless steel design, a material chosen for its strength and its ability to withstand repeated sterilization cycles. This specific model, bearing reference 42.620.18, belongs to the category of GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration) instruments. The manufacturer specifies that due to the product design and materials used, there is no defined maximum limit for the number of processing cycles, although the instrument must be inspected for any visible damage or wear before each use.

What are the contraindications for the use of this instrument?

The main medical contraindication related to the use of this forceps lies in metal intolerance. Contact with medical stainless steel can cause a hypersensitivity reaction in certain sensitive patients. If such an allergic reaction or intolerance is detected during the intervention, the procedure must be stopped immediately and necessary medical measures must be taken. It is therefore crucial to check the patient's allergic history before any manipulation with this Helmut Zepf manual instrument.

The use of a damaged product or one showing visible wear is prohibited. Compatibility with other products used during surgery must also be verified beforehand by the practitioner.
