Palatal Knife to Remove Connective Tissue by Dr. Iman Mizani | Helmut Zepf No. 46.040.15

The Palatal Knife to Remove Connective Tissue by Dr. Iman Mizani (Helmut Zepf No. 46.040.15) is a precision surgical instrument engineered for predictable, minimally invasive connective tissue graft harvesting. Developed with clinician input, this Palatal Knife delivers controlled, efficient graft preparation while maximising both safety and operator comfort throughout the procedure.

Key Features

• Angled cutting edge designed to remain perpendicular to the palatal bone for consistent tissue engagement
• Ergonomically angled instrument neck and shaft for optimal access and intraoral control
• Integrated depth gauge with clear graduation for precise graft thickness control

Clinical Advantages

• Enhanced safety with reduced risk of injury to the palatine artery
• Minimises the risk of perforation of the palatal mucosa
• Simple, ergonomic handling for improved procedural efficiency
• Fast and precise graft preparation, even in difficult-to-reach areas
• Consistently uniform connective tissue graft thickness across all harvesting steps
• Effective cutting and abrading performance under challenging anatomical conditions

The geometry of this Palatal Knife is specifically optimised so the blade angle remains perpendicular to the palatal bone throughout the harvesting stroke, reducing operator fatigue and contributing to reproducible clinical outcomes. The integrated depth gauge provides clear visual feedback, enabling the clinician to maintain uniform graft thickness without guesswork.
