2 Hourigan-Modified Woodson Periosteal

Description
2 Hourigan-Modified Woodson Periosteal The #2 Hourigan-modified Woodson periosteal redefines the classic double-ended design for refined flap initiation and atraumatic soft-tissue handling. The Hourigan-style narrow tip is sharpened and thinned to permit precise subperiosteal entry with minimal resistance—helping preserve papillary architecture and reduce micro-tearing. The opposing broad paddle is sculpted to support smooth sweeping elevation and tissue adaptation, making it ideal for flap reflection, papilla preservation, and fine adjustment of soft tissue contours prior to suturing. A balanced, knurled handle enhances tactile feedback so clinicians can “feel” tissue planes and modulate force, an especially valuable trait when working in esthetic anterior zones or around implants. Constructed of surgical-grade stainless steel in a robust one-piece configuration, this periosteal resists tip loosening and stands up to repeated sterilization cycles.

Key Features

• Hourigan-modified #2 tip: Thin, sharp profile for precise subperiosteal entry and minimal tissue trauma.

• Broad opposing paddle: Smooth, atraumatic surface for sweeping elevation and flap adaptation.

• Balanced knurled handle: Superior grip and haptic feedback for controlled elevation and minimal pinch force.

• One-piece construction: Reduced risk of tip loosening; durable through repeated clinical use.

• Edge finish to minimize snagging: Smooth transitions that protect delicate papillae and reduce tearing.

• Surgical-grade stainless steel: High corrosion resistance and dimensional stability through repeated autoclaves.

• Micro-maneuverable: Narrow tip useful for tunneling, papilla-sparing techniques, and peri-implant tissue management.

• Low-maintenance geometry: Smooth profiles facilitate ultrasonic cleaning and visual inspection.

• Versatile clinical applications: Periodontal flap initiation, implant exposure, esthetic soft-tissue handling, and delicate mucogingival procedures.

• Microsurgery compatibility: Works well under loupes or microscope for precise soft-tissue management.
