GDC Kirkland Knives KK15/16

The GDC Kirkland Double-End Knife is a periodontal instrument used for various procedures such as gingivectomy or gingivoplasty. It is particularly effective in the retro-molar region of the mouth. This instrument is designed for making initial bevel incisions, which are used to remove or recontour soft tissue in the oral cavity. It is also useful for excising interproximal tissue.The knife features pointed kidney-shaped blades, which are specifically designed for making gingivectomy bevel incisions. These bevel incisions are made at an angle to create a sloping edge, facilitating better access and visibility during the procedure. The pointed tip of the blade allows for precise and controlled cutting.

• Used to make incisions in gingival and periodontal pockets.

Direction to use :-

• Sterilize the instrument: Before use, ensure that the Kirkland Double-End Knife is properly sterilized according to the recommended guidelines for infection control.
