Combination Instrument, Back Action 90°, Glickman Knife 4 mm, ZEPF-bIONIK QuickFix Handle in Lightred-Magenta | Helmut Zepf No. 41.853.21
The glickman dental knife combination instrument from Helmut Zepf delivers precise, controlled periodontal tissue management through a 90° back action angulation and a 4 mm Glickman blade geometry. Designed for clinicians who require accuracy and repeatability, this instrument integrates an ergonomic bIONIK handle in Lightred-Magenta, providing a secure, fatigue-reducing grip during extended procedures.
Instrument Overview
The back action 90° angulation of this glickman dental knife allows access to interproximal and posterior regions that straight or standard-angle instruments cannot efficiently reach. The 4 mm blade width is suited to targeted incision and tissue contouring tasks in periodontal surgery, where precise blade placement is critical to procedural outcomes. This angulation ensures the clinician can work effectively in challenging anatomical zones without compromising control or visibility.
bIONIK Handle Technology
The Lightred-Magenta bIONIK handle is engineered to reduce hand and wrist strain through its ergonomic profile and tactile surface texture. The handle design supports both a pen grasp and a palm-and-thumb grasp, adapting to individual clinician technique. This ergonomic consideration makes the glickman dental knife combination instrument suitable for high-volume clinical environments where operator comfort directly impacts procedural quality.
Made in Germany
