Wakefield Periodontal Instruments, W

Description

Wakefield Periodontal Instruments, W

The “W” in this product name comes straight from the supplier catalogue. Specifically, the two Wakefield figures appear as 1W and 2W, and we sell them as Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Each wakefield periodontal instrument is a hand instrument for periodontal surgery. In the catalogue, it shares a page with the Ochsenbein, Gardner and Buckley patterns.

Reading the 1W and 2W Labels

Fig. 1 on our selector matches catalogue figure 1W. Likewise, Fig. 2 matches figure 2W. The catalogue gives no further description, such as length or tip width. So, before ordering, look closely at the two working ends in the photo gallery.

A Companion to Ochsenbein and Gardner Patterns

Periodontists who use Ochsenbein or Gardner instruments often want a third shape on the same tray. The Wakefield fills that gap, because it comes from the same family of periodontal patterns. In addition, ordering from one catalogue page keeps finish and feel consistent across the set.

Where the Wakefield Gets Used

Osseous surgery, crown lengthening and flap procedures all call for fine hand instruments near the root surface. When the site is narrow, a smaller pattern gives better access than a broad one. Since every clinician’s technique differs, we suggest trying one figure first if you are new to the Wakefield pattern.

Inspected, Packed, Covered

First, we review each Wakefield figure in the United States before it ships out. Expect it to arrive non-sterile, then sterilize it as you would any surgical instrument. As with all our steel tools, this one is warranted for three years against manufacturing defects in both figures.

Material: stainless steel produced under ASTM F899. Related tools are listed in diagnostic, periodontal and restorative instruments. To shape bone at the same visit, consider the Ochsenbein chisels, and our FAQs handle the practical questions.
