Instrument for sinus lift urban number 1 (short handle S6) - Hu-Friedy - [impurba1s6] - Delynov

What is the Urban #1 Sinus Lift instrument with short #6 handle?

The Urban #1 Sinus Lift instrument, referenced under code IMPURBA1S6 by Hu-Friedy, is a specialized manual tool for oral surgery. It consists of a specific Urban design working part, mounted on a short version #6 type handle. This device is designed by Hu-Friedy Mfg. Co., LLC to meet the requirements of sinus floor elevation procedures. Its structure is optimized to offer a stable grip, allowing the practitioner to manipulate delicate tissues with great technical rigor. As an instrument in the Hu-Friedy range, it benefits from the expertise of a manufacturer recognized in the field of high-precision surgical instrumentation.

What are the clinical indications for this instrument?

This instrument is primarily indicated in advanced implant surgery procedures, specifically for sinus lift (sinus elevation). It is used by dental surgeons and implantologists to detach the Schneiderian membrane after the osteotomy of the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus. Its design allows the membrane to be separated from the underlying bone without perforation, thus creating the necessary space for the insertion of bone grafting material. The short urban elevator is particularly suitable for areas of difficult access where a standard handle might limit the range of motion or the practitioner's visual comfort during the intervention.

What are the technical characteristics of the IMPURBA1S6 model?

The IMPURBA1S6 instrument is distinguished by its Urban #1 configuration combined with a short #6 handle. Unlike traditional handles, the short version offers different management of the center of gravity and ergonomics, facilitating work in cramped oral cavities. The active part is specifically profiled to follow the anatomical contours of the sinus cavity. Manufactured by Hu-Friedy, this device meets the brand's quality standards, ensuring mechanical resistance adapted to the constraints of fine bone surgery. It is not a suture, so needle specifications do not apply; the focus is on the geometry of the tip and the length of the handle.

What are the contraindications for the use of this instrument?

Contraindications for the use of the Hu-Friedy Urban #1 instrument are related to the clinical protocols of the sinus lift surgery itself. These include acute sinus pathologies, untreated local infections, or general contraindications to implant surgery. According to information from the manufacturer Hu-Friedy Mfg. Co., LLC, the use of this instrument is strictly reserved for qualified healthcare professionals. A lack of knowledge of the sinus anatomy or excessive pressure during use can lead to complications. It is imperative to read the instructions for use carefully and respect the sterilization protocols before any intervention to avoid the risks of cross-infection.

What are the maintenance precautions for this non-resorbable instrument?

As a metallic surgical instrument and not a resorbable device, maintenance relies on rigorous cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization cycles. After each use in oral surgery, the instrument must be cleared of organic debris to prevent corrosion and ensure hygiene. It is recommended to use neutral pH cleaning solutions and to follow the autoclave sterilization parameters recommended by Hu-Friedy. Regular inspection of the Urban #1 working part is necessary to ensure the absence of deformation or dullness, which could compromise the safety of the sinus membrane detachment during future interventions.

Who is the manufacturer and what standards are respected?

The instrument is manufactured by Hu-Friedy Mfg. Co., LLC, located at 3232 N. Rockwell St. Chicago, Il 60618 USA. This medical device is classified as Class I according to current regulations. As a Class I product, it meets the safety and performance requirements defined for this category of reusable surgical instruments. The manufacturer emphasizes that the use of this device is reserved exclusively for healthcare professionals. Traceability and compliance are ensured by Hu-Friedy's manufacturing processes, guaranteeing that each IMPURBA1S6 instrument delivered by Delynov meets the professional standards required for implant and periodontal surgery.
