FAQ
What are the working-end sizes? 5.0 mm on one end and 3.1 mm on the other; overall length 17.5 cm.
Is this the same as the Buser or Molt elevator? No — the Woodson pattern is slimmer and is often preferred for anterior and interproximal flap work. Zepf also offers Molt (41.862.x) and modified Buser/Woodson combinations (41.864.x).
