Description
Darby-Perry Excavator #221
The Darby-Perry excavator #221 is a small, double-purpose hand instrument that implant and periodontal surgeons keep close during grafting. Our supplier catalogue lists it within its implant and membrane surgical kit. Its compact working end reaches into narrow defects where a larger curette would not fit.
A Small Tool for Narrow Defects
Around implants and teeth, defects are often deep and slim. Because the #221 tip is small, the surgeon can remove soft tissue from these spaces without enlarging them. Also, the instrument gives good feel against bone, which helps when you are checking whether a wall is intact.
From Debridement to Graft Placement
First, the excavator clears granulation tissue from the defect. Next, after irrigation, it can carry small portions of graft into the space. Finally, its tip helps shape and settle the material before membrane placement.
- Debriding three-wall and dehiscence defects
- Removing tissue tags from extraction sockets
- Adapting small volumes of particulate graft
Why Only One Version Is Listed
This product comes in the #221 pattern alone, so there is nothing to choose between. It is the excavator the catalogue places in its kit layout. If you are assembling an implant and membrane tray, this is the matching item. Otherwise, it still works well as a standalone addition to a periodontal tray.
Inspection, Warranty and Preparation
Our United States team checks each excavator by eye and by touch before packing. Beyond inspection, it carries cover of three years against manufacturing defects for the full instrument. It is shipped non-sterile, so clean it and complete a sterilization cycle first.
Its steel is produced under ASTM F899. Explore our dental implant instruments, condense placed graft with a Bone Graft Compactor, or browse the FAQs.
