Pomee Double-Ended Dental Explorer #5 23/17 Tips Stainless Steel

Description

Product Overview

The Pomee Double-Ended Dental Explorer #5 combines two essential tip sizes—#23 and #17—on a single instrument, delivering versatile diagnostic capability in one lightweight tool. Crafted from high‑grade medical stainless steel, the explorer resists corrosion and maintains a sharp edge even after repeated sterilization cycles. Its 9.5 mm hollow handle reduces hand fatigue while providing the strength needed for precise pocket probing and caries detection. Dimensions measure 6.5 × 0.37 × 0.37 inches, weighing only 0.42 oz, making it easy to maneuver in tight oral spaces.

Usage

Designed for everyday use in general dentistry, periodontics, and oral surgery, this explorer excels in detecting subgingival calculus, assessing tooth integrity, and locating fissures. Its dual‑tip design allows clinicians to switch between a finer #17 tip for delicate areas and a broader #23 tip for deeper pockets without changing instruments. Autoclavable construction ensures compliance with infection‑control protocols, making it suitable for high‑volume practices and educational settings.
