Hollow Cylinder Osteotomes

Hollow cylinder osteotomes represent a specialized category of implantology instruments engineered for simultaneous osteotomy preparation and autologous bone harvesting in a single clinical step. Developed by Helmut Zepf GmbH in collaboration with Dr. Volmer and Dr. Rainer Valentin, these German-engineered instruments are purpose-built for minimally invasive crestal sinus lifts, precise implant site development, and bone core extraction — delivering superior control in the posterior maxilla.

Key Features of Helmut Zepf Hollow Cylinder Osteotomes

• Available Diameters — Ø 3.0 mm and Ø 4.0 mm inserts for precise implant compatibility.
• Hollow Cylinder Design — The sharp peripheral cutting edge extracts an autologous bone core while simultaneously preparing the implant site, reducing dependency on additional grafting material.
• Interchangeable Inserts — Compatible with Zepf universal handles and bone management systems for streamlined surgical workflows.
• Surgical-Grade Quality — Premium German stainless steel construction; fully autoclavable, corrosion-resistant, and built for repeated clinical use.

Clinical Indications

These instruments are ideal for crestal approach sinus floor elevation in residual bone heights of 4–8 mm, immediate implant placement in cases of moderate bone deficiency, and procedures where bone preservation and augmentation are critical. Their ergonomic design provides excellent tactile feedback when used with mallets or hand pressure, and their gentle action protects the Schneiderian membrane throughout the procedure.
