The Luxator Periotome Titanium offers enhanced durability with a titanium-coated tip. With Luxator instruments your extractions can be performed with minimal tissue damage. The durable titanium-coated tip remains sharp over time and does not require sharpening.
Available with 4 different blade tips.
Autoclavable Fixus 1 case included.
Luxator Periotomes are used to cut the periodontal ligaments and loosen the tooth. The Luxator Forte lifts (elevates) the tooth.
Depending on the tooth to loosen a curved periotome might guarantee a better access.
A special sharpening stone is available, suitable for all Luxator instruments from 1mm periotomes to Forte. To sharpen a periotome, place the concave surface of the blade tip on the sharpening stone and make strokes. Lift the blade after each stroke and repeat until the blade is sharp. The stone should always be lubricated with sharpening oil or water to avoid clogging of the surface with debris. For best results, sharpen your Luxator instrument regularly with a Luxator sharpening stone. Sharpen the Luxator instrument after thorough cleaning and before sterilisation.
Luxator Periotomes come in light handles (grey, pale blue or pale yellow) while the Luxator Forte comes in a black handle. The blade also differs.
