GDC Periosteal Glickman Periodontal Elevator - P24G # 6

The GDC Periosteal Glickman Periodontal Elevator - P24G # 6 is an essential instrument for use in periodontal and oral surgery. This elevator is meticulously designed for controlled and atraumatic elevation of the mucoperiosteal flap during various periodontal procedures, facilitating the reflection and retraction of the mucoperiosteum after incisions of the gingival tissue.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, this instrument ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and is compatible with sterilization processes for repeated and reliable use. The P24G #6 features a Glickman design, characterized by its curved, thin, and sharp tip, which allows for precise and controlled lifting of the mucoperiosteal flap during surgical interventions.

The #6 size configuration provides optimal dimensions for effective use in a variety of periodontal and oral surgical procedures, offering versatility in clinical applications. It is routinely required for exposing cortical bone for extraction, implant placement, flap surgery, or periodontal intervention, and is also suitable for bone exposure for extraction procedures, periodontal flap access, implant site surgical preparation, and soft tissue reflection during minor oral surgery.

Key Features : 

Designed for mucoperiosteal flap elevation and detachment of the periosteum from the underlying bone during oral and periodontal procedures.
Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting performance.
Reusable and autoclavable, supporting effective infection control protocols in clinical settings.
Features a Glickman design with a curved, thin, and sharp tip for precise and controlled tissue lifting and separation.
Manufactured in compliance with international standards including UNI EN ISO 9001:2008, UNI EN ISO 13485:2003, and CE standards.

Preparation: Ensure that you have properly sterilized the instrument, as it will come into direct contact with oral tissues.
Patient Positioning: Position the patient comfortably in the dental chair, ensuring good access to the treatment area.
Hand Hygiene: As with any dental procedure, practice thorough hand hygiene, including wearing gloves and other appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Anesthesia: If necessary, administer local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
Instrument Inspection: Examine the periosteal elevator for any signs of damage or wear. It should be in optimal condition for the procedure.
Isolation: Isolate the surgical site using appropriate dental dam, gauze, or other tools to maintain a clean and dry field.
Elevation: Hold the GDC Periosteal Elevator Glickman - 6 with a firm grip on the handle. Place the sharp-edged tip of the elevator gently against the periosteum (the thin connective tissue covering the bone) at the desired location.
Elevate: Apply controlled, gentle pressure to lift the periosteum away from the underlying bone. Use a careful and minimal-trauma approach to avoid unnecessary tissue damage.
Visual and Access Improvement: The elevator can help improve visibility and access to the surgical site by gently retracting the periosteum.
Repeat as Needed: Depending on the specific procedure, you may need to repeat the elevation at different points around the surgical area.
Clean and Sterilize: After use, thoroughly clean the GDC Periosteal Elevator Glickman - 6, following the recommended sterilization procedures to prepare it for future use.
