DEVICE: GoldenDent (00850011211946)

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 hand-held surgical instrument used during surgery to cut suture or ligature material, i.e., to divide lengths or remove excessive/unwanted ends. 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 metallic and is available in various designs and sizes; the blades may have different shapes, e.g., they can be curved or straight with a hook-like tip to capture the suture/ligature as it is cut. It is not a dedicated ophthalmic device. This is a reusable device.

A manual surgical instrument designed for cutting and excising bone tissue typically during an orthopaedic or a plastic surgery procedure. It is typically designed as a long, slender instrument with a handle at the proximal end and a concave, spoon-like tip which has a sharp edge, at the distal end, or it may be double-ended, and is used to facilitate the removal of the bone tissue without causing trauma to the surrounding muscles. It is typically made of high-grade stainless steel and is a common instrument of choice for the removal of the bone. 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, 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 dental instrument used to excise the gums and other oral soft tissue during a periodontal intervention (e.g., a gingivectomy involving the excising of the soft tissue wall of a pocket). It is typically designed as a one-piece instrument with a sharp, single-edged cutting blade of various shapes and sizes along the working end. It can be a single-ended or double-ended instrument with a handle at the proximal end or positioned centrally. It is usually made of high-grade stainless steel. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to lift/separate (elevate) or tunnel under the periosteum during surgery, typically orthopaedic, including use on the ribs. It may in addition be used in dentistry to access retained roots, or to remove them with surrounding bone. It is typically a one-piece instrument available in a variety of sizes and blade designs, including straight and curved blades, and often double-ended with a central handle; 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 small, shallow, hand-held concave vessel made of glass or metal used to mix dental materials chairside prior to application to the patient during dental procedures. The user dispenses the required amount of component materials into the device and mixes them by hand (e.g., with a spatula) until the consistency of the mixture is appropriate. It is most often used for prophy and fluoride treatments, for mixing composite materials, acrylics, cements, and amalgams. This is a reusable device.
