Product Description
The Universal Long Hex Wrench 1.25 mm is a precision surgical and prosthetic instrument designed for tightening and loosening all implant screws utilizing a 1.25 mm hexagonal connection during both the surgical and restorative stages of dental implant treatment.
Manufactured from high-quality medical-grade stainless steel, the instrument provides excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable torque transmission. Its extended design allows easy access to implant components located in deep surgical sites and prosthetic restorations while maintaining precise screw engagement.
The Universal Long Hex Wrench 1.25 mm can be used manually or in conjunction with additional implant instrumentation, including surgical ratchets, surgical keys, and calibrated torque wrenches. This versatility allows clinicians to perform initial manual screw placement followed by controlled torque application according to the implant manufacturer's recommendations.
During implant treatment, clinicians commonly begin screw insertion using manual hex wrenches 431712 or 431212. After initial seating, final tightening should be performed using a calibrated torque instrument such as 446301, 446302, or equivalent torque devices to achieve the recommended tightening force.
The Universal Long Hex Wrench 1.25 mm provides a single solution for both manual and instrument-assisted screw placement and is suitable for use with cover screws, healing abutments, prosthetic fixation screws, abutment screws, and other implant-related components utilizing a 1.25 mm hex connection.
