A hand-held dental instrument used to cut oral tissue during a dental surgical procedure. It comprises two pivoted blades that are usually provided with a finger and thumb ring-handle and which cut with a shearing action (i.e., the blades cut as the sharpened edges pass one another as they are closed). It is typically made of high-grade stainless steel and has blades that terminate in sharp, fine, points. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to grasp a suture needle when pushing/pulling the needle and attached suture through tissue during suturing. It is typically made of metal and has short serrated jaws at the distal end to provide better grip of the needle. It is available in a wide variety of sizes and designs, such as: 1) a self-retaining, scissors-like design with ring handles at the proximal end; 2) a tweezers-like design with bowed, hinged handles that are operated by squeezing them together; and 3) a heavy-duty pincer-like design. Some types may utilize inserts made of hard materials (e.g., carbide) and include scissor blades. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual surgical instrument with a surface(s) of coarse and/or fine grooves or teeth designed to scrape and smooth the surface of bone during a surgical procedure. The device is typically a one-piece instrument with grooves/teeth along all or part of its working end(s). It is available in a variety of sizes and working end designs, including straight and curved ends and often double-ended with a central handle. It is not dedicated for use at a specific anatomy (e.g., sinus, ear) and it is made of metal [e.g., stainless steel, titanium (Ti)]. This is a reusable device.

A device that is an interchangeable component of a scalpel and that functions as a handle designed to mount a compatible blade. This device with the blade become a single-bladed surgical instrument intended to be used by a physician for cutting or dissecting tissue. The device is typically made of metal (e.g., stainless steel or brass). This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual dental device (a plunger-type syringe) designed to inject and/or aspirate a volume of solution into the working area in the oral cavity. It typically consists of a small syringe (e.g., 3 ml) and is used for washing and aspirating the pulp cavity and root canal to remove debris. It is hand-operated by the user who exerts a steady pressure on, e.g., thumb rings and/or swivel finger bars, which exerts pressure on the syringe plunger forcing the washing/rinsing fluids through an attached needle (e.g., a blunt or very fine needle) directly at the operative site. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held, dental instrument intended to be used by a dentist for intraoral inspection or inspection and retraction. It typically consists of a stainless steel shaft terminating at the distal end in a small round mirror that is angled to the shaft. This is a reusable device.

A container intended to provide a suitable platform for placing/containing many medical/surgical/dental instruments and related items for use during a clinical procedure; it might, in addition, be used during, but not dedicated to, reprocessing/sterilization procedures. It is a receptacle in one of a variety of designs, typically with moulded positions for placing the instruments; it might include a lid and/or removable identification tags. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held, manual device designed to hold and facilitate manipulation of a non-powered, non-rotary dental instrument (e.g., endodontic file/rasp, implant extractor). It is designed to accept the patient-contact endpiece (not included) for ease of handling. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held, manual, dental surgical instrument intended to be used as a lever during the extraction of a tooth or retained roots. It is typically a one-piece instrument with a strong but slender blade at the distal working end, or it may be double-ended with a central handle. It is available in a variety of sizes and blade designs and is pushed in between the gums and the tooth exterior to loosen the tissue surrounding the tooth. Sometimes this can be enough to loosen and extract the tooth without the use of other instruments. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed for scraping and/or excising tissue from a wide variety of anatomical sites, and includes at least one non-dermal application (i.e., non-dedicated). It is typically made of high-grade stainless steel, available in a variety of shapes and sizes, and has an appropriately-shaped distal end (e.g., cup-, ring-, spoon-like). This is a single-use device.

A hand-held, manual, open-surgery instrument designed to facilitate grasping and manipulation of soft-tissues. It has a tweezers-like design (may be a micro/fine instrument) with variously designed tips at the working end, whereby the blades are designed to be opened/closed by squeezing between the fingers (i.e., without ring handles). It is made of high-grade stainless steel, available in various sizes, and may have carbide inserts at the working end. It is not an electrosurgical device and not dedicated to ophthalmic surgery. This is a reusable device intended to be sterilized prior to use.

A hand-held, non-self-retaining dental instrument intended to be used to manually displace soft tissues of the oral cavity to improve their visualization and access, and to afford them protection during oral surgical procedures. It is typically a metallic device and includes a shaped/hooked blade with a handle/holding portion. This is a reusable device.
