Tunneling knives are the specialty instruments that make modern minimally invasive periodontal microsurgery possible — root coverage, papilla preservation and tunnel preparation for connective tissue grafts.

Slim, angled blades reach under the papilla without compromising the marginal tissue. Working ends are hand-finished to a true microsurgical edge and handles are designed for the fingertip pen grip these procedures demand.

Frequently asked about Surgery

Periotomes, luxators, elevators — what is the order of use in atraumatic extraction?

Periotome first (severs PDL fibres), then luxator (widens socket), then elevator only if needed. Forceps last. The newer Bensonhurst-style periotomes from our Surgery range are designed for this protocol.

What scissor types do you stock?

Iris (sharp/sharp), Spencer (suture removal), Goldman-Fox (gum trimming), LaGrange (heavy gum), and tungsten-carbide variants of each.

Are your needle holders TC-tipped?

Yes — all our Mathieu, Mayo-Hegar, Castroviejo, and Crile-Wood needle holders are available with tungsten-carbide inserts (gold-handle marker).

Do you carry sinus lift instruments?

Yes — full sinus lift curette set (straight, mesial, distal, posterior), bone spreaders, osteotomes, and Summers-style elevators. See /instruments?cat=4151.
