Modified PPLABANCA Periosteal, #6 Handle

The Modified PPLABANCA Periosteal, #6 Handle is a specialized dental surgical instrument designed for controlled elevation and reflection of mucoperiosteal tissue during periodontal, implant, and oral surgical procedures. Its modified PPLABANCA pattern provides a dedicated working configuration for clinicians who require precision tissue manipulation and reliable access to the surgical field. Periosteal elevators are essential instruments in periodontal and implant surgery because they allow clinicians to carefully reflect soft-tissue flaps and expose the underlying alveolar bone. The Modified PPLABANCA Periosteal is designed to support controlled tissue elevation while providing the clinician with appropriate tactile feedback and instrument stability. The #6 handle configuration provides a substantial and comfortable grip for controlled manipulation. Handle design is particularly important during periodontal surgery because the clinician may need to maintain precise finger positioning while applying controlled pressure along the tissue-bone interface. A properly balanced handle can help support accurate movements and reduce unnecessary hand repositioning during detailed surgical procedures. The modified PPLABANCA working profile is suitable for a variety of periodontal and implant-related applications. It can be incorporated into periodontal flap procedures, implant placement, bone augmentation, ridge preservation, and other oral surgical techniques where controlled mucoperiosteal reflection is required. The exact clinical application should be determined according to the instrument’s working-end design and the clinician’s established surgical technique. The Modified PPLABANCA Periosteal, #6 Handle can be used alongside periodontal curettes, surgical chisels, bone scrapers, osteotomes, bone condensers, implant drivers, surgical retractors, and other implantology instruments. This makes it a useful component of comprehensive periodontal and dental implant surgery sets. The instrument is typically manufactured from high-quality surgical stainless steel or another appropriate medical-grade material. Durable construction provides the rigidity needed for controlled tissue manipulation while offering resistance to corrosion when appropriate cleaning, drying, sterilization, and maintenance procedures are followed. Precision finishing of the working end and handle supports routine inspection and professional clinical use. The ergonomic #6 handle provides a practical interface between the clinician and the working end. Its design is intended to support controlled gripping and manipulation, which is important when working around delicate gingival tissue and exposed alveolar bone. Proper technique remains essential to ensure appropriate tissue handling during surgical procedures. Proper reprocessing is essential for reusable dental surgical instruments. Following clinical use, the Modified PPLABANCA Periosteal should be cleaned promptly according to the healthcare facility’s validated instrument-processing protocol. Blood, tissue, and other biological contaminants should be removed before sterilization. The instrument should then be thoroughly rinsed and dried, inspected for deformation or surface damage, packaged appropriately, and sterilized using a validated process compatible with the instrument and applicable manufacturer recommendations. Routine inspection should include the working end, handle, and overall instrument structure. Any signs of corrosion, deformation, cracking, or other damage should be evaluated before the instrument is returned to clinical service. Proper storage after sterilization helps protect the working end and maintain the instrument’s condition. The Modified PPLABANCA Periosteal, #6 Handle combines a specialized periodontal working profile with a practical #6 handle and durable surgical construction. It is a valuable addition to professional periodontal, implantology, and oral surgery instrument collections for clinicians requiring controlled soft-tissue elevation.
