Warranty and Our Guarantee
Every Zepf instrument on this page carries a one-year Helmut Zepf Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship (Zepf extraction forceps carry a lifetime warranty). And because an instrument can only be judged in the hand, you have 60 days to return it for any reason — even after you have used it. Try it on real cases; if it is not the instrument for you, send it back.
Made in Germany by Helmut Zepf
Helmut Zepf has manufactured dental and surgical instruments in Germany for over 100 years. Every instrument on this page is forged, ground and finished by Zepf and carries its part number for traceability.
Clinical Use
Per the product titles, both Hylin elevators have a round tip on a standard handle with thumb rest: #1 at 4.5 mm and #2 at 3 mm.
- Two sizes: #1 with a wider 4.5 mm tip and #2 with a narrower 3 mm tip for confined root spaces.
- Round tip: a rounded profile for smooth, controlled engagement of the root.
Care and Reconditioning
Zepf surgical instruments are resharpened, re-aligned and reconditioned by our sharpening and reconditioning service when the working end dulls. Clean, disinfect and sterilize between patients.
Our Surgical Instrument Reprocessing & Sterilization Guide covers the general workflow for Helmut Zepf surgical instruments.
