Explorer #23/6 Double-Ended 9.5mm Hollow Dental Explorer Pomee

Description

Product Overview

The Pomee Explorer #23/6 is engineered for professional dental diagnostics, merging a sickle (#23) tip and an explorer (#6) tip into a single, double‑ended instrument. Crafted from high‑grade stainless steel, the instrument resists corrosion, maintains edge sharpness, and endures repeated autoclave cycles without loss of performance. The 9.5 mm hollow handle reduces overall weight to just 0.63 ounces, providing an ultra‑light feel that minimizes hand fatigue during extended procedures. Its ergonomic contour follows the natural grip of the clinician’s hand, allowing precise control and steady positioning even in tight oral spaces. The instrument measures 8.6 × 1.5 × 0.7 inches, making it compact enough for easy storage while still offering a robust, durable construction suitable for daily clinical use.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of diagnostic applications, the Explorer #23/6 excels in periodontal probing, caries detection, and root surface evaluation. Its dual‑ended configuration enables clinicians to swiftly switch between a sickle tip for soft‑tissue manipulation and an explorer tip for tactile assessment of enamel integrity, reducing instrument changes and streamlining workflow. The lightweight hollow handle is especially beneficial during lengthy examinations, as it lessens wrist strain and improves overall comfort for both practitioner and patient. Fully autoclavable, the instrument can be sterilized at 134 °C for 3‑5 minutes, ensuring a high level of infection control compliance in busy dental practices, teaching institutions, and specialty clinics.
