Osteotomy Instrument - Helmut Zepf (47.945.20) - Delynov

What is the Helmut Zepf convex, angled, Ø 2.0 mm osteotome?

The convex, angled, Ø 2.0 mm osteotome (reference 47.945.20) is a manual dental instrument designed by Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH. Manufactured from high-quality medical stainless steel, this device is specifically structured with a convex tip and an angled shaft to meet the needs of dental surgeons during bone preparation phases. This Class I equipment belongs to the category of reusable consumables after a complete reprocessing cycle. Its robust design allows for effective force transmission during osteotomy procedures, while ensuring the durability required for professional oral surgery instruments.

What are the clinical indications for this 2mm osteotome?

This 2mm osteotome is primarily indicated for implant surgery and oral surgery interventions. Its use is recommended for the condensation and expansion of trabecular bone, as well as for lifting the sinus floor (crestal sinus lift). The convex shape of its working part is ideal for pushing back bone in a controlled manner. Thanks to its specific angulation, it allows reaching the posterior areas of the jaw where access is often restricted, thus offering the practitioner a solution adapted for the creation or enlargement of the implant housing in complex anatomical conditions.

What are the technical characteristics of the 47.945.20 instrument?

The Helmut Zepf instrument reference 47.945.20 is distinguished by a diameter of 2.0 mm, a standard dimension for the initial stages of implant socket preparation. Its tip is of the convex type, favoring lateral and apical bone compression rather than material removal. The angled shaft is designed to optimize the insertion axis in the molar and premolar sectors. Made of medical stainless steel, it is delivered non-sterile and must undergo a rigorous cleaning and sterilization protocol before each use. This device does not have a defined maximum limit of treatment cycles, as this depends on visible wear and the care taken during reprocessing.

What are the contraindications for the use of this instrument?

The main medical contraindication mentioned by the manufacturer Helmut Zepf concerns hypersensitivity or intolerance to metals. Contact with medical stainless steel can trigger a reaction in allergic patients. If such a hypersensitivity reaction occurs during the intervention, the procedure must be immediately stopped and the necessary clinical measures must be taken. Additionally, use is strictly contraindicated if the instrument shows visible damage, such as cracks, breaks, or defects on the cutting edges, to ensure patient safety and the effectiveness of the surgical gesture.

What are the maintenance and safety precautions?

Like any reusable Class I instrument, this osteotome must be fully cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized before the first use and after each subsequent use. The manufacturer emphasizes that it is crucial to check the condition of the instrument before each intervention: any sign of wear or visible damage must lead to its disposal. Reprocessing must follow standard hospital or dental office sterilization protocols. Given that the product is delivered non-sterile, compliance with these instructions is imperative to prevent the risk of cross-infection. The use of this instrument is strictly reserved for qualified healthcare professionals.

Who is the manufacturer and what standards are respected?

The official manufacturer of this instrument is Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik GmbH, located in Seitingen-Oberflacht, Germany. This medical device is listed as Class I according to current regulations. Helmut Zepf is a recognized manufacturer in the dental instrumentation sector for the precision of its stainless steel tools. The product complies with the safety and performance requirements defined for manual dental instruments. Each unit is identified by a precise technical reference (47.945.20), thus ensuring the traceability of the device within the Delynov supply chain and the dental office.
