Membrane Punch, Stepped Tip

Description

Membrane Punch, Stepped Tip

This membrane punch cuts clean holes in barrier membranes before placement. The catalogue describes it as extra sharp with a stepped tip. Our Atlanta crew looks over every unit by hand, which means each punch gets a United States inspection prior to shipping.

What a Stepped Tip Offers

The stepped profile is the defining feature. The catalogue names it but gives no step dimensions. So check the photo closely to see the tip geometry. If you need a particular hole diameter, contact us and we will measure one from stock.

Why Extra Sharp Matters

Membranes can tear or stretch under a dull edge. An extra sharp punch, therefore, cuts through in one action. That leaves a neat opening rather than a ragged one. It also means less handling of the membrane before placement.

Typical Uses at the Chair

Surgeons punch membranes for several reasons. For example, a hole lets a membrane sit over a healing abutment or a tenting screw. Similarly, it can create an access point for a fixation tack. Trim and punch the membrane on a sterile surface, then place it. Afterward, confirm the hole lines up with the screw or abutment before you secure the membrane.

Covered for the Long Term

Sharp edges deserve backing too. This membrane punch is guaranteed for three years against manufacturing defects; reach out if the tip ever shows a production flaw.

We reference ASTM F899 for the stainless steel in our instruments. You will find more graft and membrane tools in Dental Implant Instruments. For soft tissue rather than membrane, see our Tissue Punches. Order support is available through the FAQs.

Only trained clinicians should use this punch. It comes without sterilization, so clean the tip carefully and sterilize the instrument before surgery; our care and sterilization page explains how. Check shipping and delivery for timing.
