The Hu-Friedy Instruments Cavity Prep Hatchet #17/18 DE is a premium double-ended cutting instrument, particularly for precision-driven restorative procedures that demand meticulous cavity refinement and preparation. This operative hatchet is essential for achieving optimal cavity design, as it is used to define and smooth internal line angles, establish crucial retentive areas within the tooth structure, and meticulously remove hard, lingering caries.

Engineered in accordance with Dr. G.V. Black's precision formula of 10-6-14, this instrument ensures the blade's accuracy and effectiveness for definitive shaping.

The first number, 10, represents the width of the blade in tenths of a millimeter (1.0?mm), the second number, 6, is the length of the cutting edge in millimeters, and the final number, 14, denotes the blade angle in centigrade. Its double-ended configuration allows for immediate transition between different angles or sizes during the procedure, maximizing workflow efficiency without the need to switch instruments. The hatchet's working ends are both 1.0?mm wide, crafted from high-quality stainless steel alloy for superior sharpness and long-lasting durability, and often feature the comfortable #41 Round Handle or #9 EverEdge-DE design for exceptional tactile control and reduced hand fatigue during prolonged use.

This meticulous construction ensures that every movement is precise, leading to more predictable clinical outcomes in cavity preparation. If you're searching for a highly effective and reliable tool for superior micro-surgical cutting, particularly in cavity preparation, the best Hu-Friedy Cavity Prep Hatchet is a definitive choice for any dental professional.
