Papilla Placement Instrument, 175 mm

Description

Papilla Placement Instrument, 175 mm

The interdental papilla is small, thin and easily torn. A papilla placement instrument helps the clinician guide it into position without crushing it. Our supplier catalogue lists this 175 mm model in its papilla elevators section, next to the Goldman-Fox 14 and Molt 9 patterns.

Placing Rather Than Lifting

Papilla elevators raise tissue from bone, whereas this instrument is listed for placement. So its job comes later in the procedure, when the flap is ready to return. The clinician uses it to tuck the papilla and margins into place before the first suture goes in. Please check the photo to see the working end in detail.

Why the 175 mm Length Matters

A 175 mm instrument gives enough reach for posterior interproximal sites. At the same time, it keeps the grip comfortable during fine adjustments. It also matches the length of the companion papilla elevators, which keeps the tray consistent.

Gentle Handling Around Implants

Soft tissue around a new implant or healing abutment needs careful support. Therefore, move the papilla with light pressure and avoid pinching it against the crown or abutment. If the tissue resists, release tension in the flap before trying again. This patience pays off in a neater closure.

Simple Upkeep

Because the instrument is solid with no hinges, cleaning is straightforward. Still, brush the working end soon after use, since dried tissue clings to fine tips.

Every papilla placement instrument gets a close look from staff in the United States ahead of dispatch. We give this 175 mm tool three years against manufacturing defects alongside our normal return terms. It arrives non-sterile, so sterilize it before seating any papilla.

Its stainless steel meets the ASTM F899 specification for surgical tool steel. Browse soft tissue tools in our implant instruments listing, and raise the papilla first with the matching 175 mm papilla elevator. Order and return help is on our FAQs.
