Key Benefits

  • Interchangeable design allows a single handle to serve multiple periodontal surgical techniques
  • Includes Tunneling Knife, SRC (root-coverage), Papillex elevator, and periodontal chisel configurations
  • Fine, precisely ground tips for atraumatic soft-tissue handling
  • Durable stainless steel construction, with ONYX- or Nanopal-coated versions, suited to repeated sterilization cycles

Clinical Use

These inserts are designed for tunneling technique root coverage, papilla elevation and preservation, subperiosteal tissue reflection, and precise bone or tissue contouring during periodontal plastic surgery. Their specialised geometries support atraumatic tissue management and minimally invasive surgical approaches.

Care and Reconditioning

Clean, disinfect and sterilize inserts and handles after each use according to the Helmut Zepf instructions, and replace a worn or damaged insert rather than the whole instrument. Our Surgical Instrument Reprocessing & Sterilization Guide covers the workflow step by step.
