Now available: New surgical kits from DENTSPLY Friadent

11-14-2007 | "Our new surgical kits for the XiVE and ANKYLOS implant systems are well-designed, clearly laid-out and very attractive,“ summarizes Birgit Dillmann, Marketing Director of DENTSPLY Friadent.

With the reduction in the number of instruments, the surgical cassettes, which can be fitted with modules classified by implant diameter, promise easy handling and greatly simplify surgery. Users can assemble the surgical kit to match their own way of working and add to it at any time. In the basic configuration the new surgical kits can handle almost 80% of cases.

Faster and simpler working.

Customized restorations are easy with the modular inserts for the ANKYLOS and XiVE implant systems sorted by standard implant diameters. The user guide is designed for the surgical protocols of both systems, which makes working during implant placement easier. The number of implant drivers for XiVE has been reduced by more than half, because they are now identical for both the ratchet and the contra-angle handpiece. The new thread-cutter
is now in one piece and has been integrated into the kit.

The uncovery instruments, which consist of hexagonal screwdrivers and an instrument for removing the closure screw, have now been integrated into the ANKYLOS surgical cassettes. The advantage here is that a separate uncovery cassette is no longer required for surgery. The ANKYLOS surgical kit is available for both manual use and for the motordriven version.

The design is also new

The attractive glossy black cassettes have a lid that can be removed as well as a practical separate organizer for used instruments. Cleaning is very easy with the design that eliminates edges. The layout inside the box is very simple with the clearly structured, color-coded instrument arrangement and guarantees safe handling in the operating theater. The trays are made of a light and stable sterilizable plastic. Overall the new surgical kits offer a high degree of flexibility and economy and represent a genuine advance for the dental practice.
