FLEXIBLE PERIOTOME SET Gold Titanium

FLEXIBLE PERIOTOME SET Gold Titanium

The Flexible Periotome Set Gold Titanium comprises five single-ended instruments, each featuring a silver anodized aluminum handle with a ribbed central grip zone and smooth tapered body measuring approximately 170mm in overall length. The set covers five distinct gold titanium-coated tip configurations: LS9-041 carries a straight serrated pointed tip for initial ligament penetration, LS9-042 a straight flat 3mm blade, LS9-043 an offset angled 3mm blade, LS9-044 a straight flat 2mm blade, and LS9-045 an offset angled 2mm blade; delivering complete periodontal ligament access coverage across all tooth positions.

The gold titanium nitride coating applied to each working tip of this Flexible Peritome Set increases blade surface hardness substantially beyond standard stainless steel, extending cutting edge longevity across repeated clinical use cycles. Blade thickness at each working tip measures approximately 0.3mm, enabling atraumatic insertion into the periodontal ligament space without cortical bone contact. All five Flexible Periotome, Straight Tip, Gold Titanium instruments are fully autoclavable at 134°C, maintaining coating adhesion, blade flexibility, and handle integrity through repeated sterilization cycles without dimensional compromise.

The Flexible Periotome Set Gold Titanium is used by oral surgeons, periodontists, and general dentists during atraumatic tooth extraction procedures preceding immediate implant placement. The clinician selects the appropriate tip based on tooth position and root anatomy, serrated tip for initial penetration, straight blades for facial and lingual access, and offset blades for mesial and distal ligament severance, systematically working circumferentially around the root to detach all periodontal ligament attachments before atraumatic tooth delivery.

Leader Surgical addresses every ligament access angle within a single organized set; five tip geometries covering serrated penetration, straight insertion, and offset angulation reflect a brand that designs instrument families with complete procedural coverage in mind, ensuring oral surgeons never reach for a missing configuration mid-extraction regardless of tooth type or socket morphology.

Why is the gold titanium coating important?
The gold Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating significantly increases surface hardness and durability. It provides superior edge retention, meaning the instruments stay sharp longer without needing frequent sharpening.
