Luxator Handle Number 510 5mm Straight - Hu-Friedy - Delynov

What is the Hu-Friedy 5mm straight luxator?

The 5mm straight luxator, #510 handle, is a precision manual instrument manufactured by Hu-Friedy Mfg. Co., LLC. It consists of a 5mm wide straight working part and an ergonomic handle referenced under number #510. This instrument is specifically structured for intervention in the ligament space. As a Class I medical device, it meets the regulatory requirements for use in clinical settings. Its robust design allows practitioners to perform luxation maneuvers with controlled force transmission, thus facilitating the preliminary steps to tooth or root avulsion.

What are the clinical indications for this instrument?

This 5mm luxator is indicated for oral surgery, periodontology, and implantology. Its primary role is the sectioning of the ligament fibers (periodontal ligament) surrounding the root. It is used by the surgeon to create space between the alveolar bone and the tooth, allowing for effective mobilization before using forceps. The use of this Hu-Friedy instrument is particularly relevant during simple or complex extractions where preservation of the integrity of the bone plate is required, notably within the framework of immediate implant placement protocols or alveolar preservation.

What are the technical characteristics of the #510 handle luxator?

The luxator is distinguished by a 5mm wide straight tip, offering an optimal contact surface for large diameter roots. The #510 handle is designed by Hu-Friedy to ensure a stable grip and prolonged comfort of use during surgical interventions. This instrument belongs to the INSTRU category and benefits from the Class I regulatory classification. Its straight geometry is ideal for anterior sectors and direct access zones, allowing for the application of precise axial pressure along the root to break the ligament attachment without compromising the surrounding tissues.

What are the contraindications for the use of this device?

In accordance with information from the manufacturer Hu-Friedy Mfg. Co., LLC, the use of this instrument is strictly reserved for qualified healthcare professionals. General clinical contraindications include situations where the patient's health status does not permit oral surgical intervention. This instrument should not be used on structures for which the 5mm dimension would be unsuitable, at the risk of damaging soft tissues or adjacent bone walls. The practitioner must evaluate bone density and root anatomy before any application of force to avoid unforeseen root fractures.

What are the precautions for use and maintenance?

As a non-resorbable and reusable instrument, the 5mm luxator must be subject to a rigorous cleaning and sterilization protocol before each intervention, in accordance with the instructions for use. It is imperative to carefully read the manual provided by Hu-Friedy before the first use. The practitioner must regularly inspect the condition of the 5mm tip to ensure the absence of deformations or premature wear that could alter the effectiveness of the luxation. Careful handling is required to maintain the mechanical properties of the instrument over the long term.

Who is the manufacturer and what standards are respected?

The official manufacturer of this device is Hu-Friedy Mfg. Co., LLC, located at 3232 N. Rockwell St. Chicago, Il 60618 USA.
