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
- Same working ends, different handle: choose this series if you prefer a flat handle with a thumb rest to the round Bein grip.
- Sizes: 2 mm for fine roots, 2.8 or 3.5 mm for the modified Beck elevators (straight, or curved #5 and #6), 3 mm for most extractions, 4 to 5 mm for molars; the angled Special series for posterior sockets the straight shank cannot enter square.
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 elevators.
