Angled Blade Handle

Description

Angled Blade Handle

The angled blade handle combines an angled shaft with a blade mount that turns through a full circle. So you can point a #12 or #15 blade in whatever direction the site needs.

Turning the blade, not the wrist

In the mouth, many incisions run along surfaces you cannot face directly. Here you rotate the blade instead of contorting your hand. For example, distal and lingual cuts become easier to start and to finish cleanly.

Setting up the angled blade handle

Load a #12 or #15 blade, then turn the mount to the direction you want. Also check that the mount holds its position before you touch tissue. If it slips, clean the joint and try again.

Care

Rotate the mount while you rinse, because debris sits inside the joint. Then dry it well and store it in a set position before sterilization.

Choosing between #12 and #15

A #15 blade has a small curved belly, which suits sulcular and flap incisions. Meanwhile, the hooked #12 reaches around the back of teeth and into tight embrasures. Because the angled blade handle accepts both, many clinicians load a #15 for most work and switch to a #12 only when access demands it. Also, the rotating mount lets left and right handed clinicians use the same handle comfortably. That makes it a practical choice for shared operatories.
