Holst-Style Explorer - Double-Ended Hollow Handle
This double-ended Holst-style explorer carries long thin tips on both ends for caries detection, tissue pocket exploration, and assessment of restoration margins. The slender points reach pit and fissure contours on occlusal surfaces and glide into proximal embrasures where bulkier explorers would obscure tactile feedback. The working ends sit on a lightweight hollow stainless-steel handle with a ribbed mid-section for a balanced pen grip. The symmetrical double-ended layout lets the clinician flip between tips without repositioning the hand. Supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments and fully autoclavable for standard steam-sterilisation cycles.

Explorer Fig. 9 Extra Thin - Hollow Handle 10mm
The Explorer Fig. 9 is a single-ended diagnostic instrument with an extra-thin working tip for tactile detection of supragingival and subgingival calculus, caries, furcations and restoration margins. The fine taper of the working end allows it to track along tooth surfaces and slip into narrow interproximal areas without stretching soft tissue. Built from stainless steel with a 10 mm hollow handle and knurled grip, the explorer is lightweight for fine-detail charting. Equate Instruments supplies it non-sterile, fully autoclavable for standard clinic sterilisation.

Explorer 9-17 - Double-Ended Pigtail Explorer with Grey Ergonomic Handle
The double-ended Explorer is a diagnostic hand instrument used by general dentists and hygienists to detect caries, locate surface calculus, and trace restoration margins during routine examinations. Fine stainless-steel tips transmit clear tactile feedback through the shank, letting the operator trace fissures, margins, and furcation entrances without applying excess force. Offset working ends give angled access to anterior and posterior surfaces from one pen grasp. The ergonomic handle is profiled to stay stable during light, repeated probing and dampens hand fatigue across a full exam schedule. Equate Instruments supplies the explorer non-sterile and fully autoclavable for straightforward processing in pouches or cassettes.

Explorer 11-12 Blue
This dental explorer is a double-ended diagnostic hand instrument used by dentists and hygienists for caries detection, probing of pits and fissures, and tactile assessment of restoration margins and periodontal openings. Paired thin working tips deliver precise, controllable feedback during close-quarters examination of individual teeth. Crafted in medical-grade stainless steel, the instrument is fully autoclavable and balanced for the feather-light tactile response clinicians rely on. Equate Instruments supplies it non-sterile so the clinic can process the explorer in its preferred sterilisation workflow, ready for routine steam sterilisation between cases.

Explorer 11F-12F Flexible, Light Blue
The Explorer 11F-12F is a double-ended diagnostic hand instrument with flexible long curved shanks that reach subgingival surfaces and furcations otherwise awkward to detect with a standard shepherd-hook explorer. The mirrored tips allow facial and lingual examination without a handle re-grip, and the flexible shank tolerates lateral pressure during tactile assessment. Engineered by Equate Instruments from stainless steel with a silicone-sleeved slim ergonomic light-blue handle, the explorer supports efficient tactile charting of decay, calculus, and restorative margins during exams and periodontal assessment. Supplied non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation in pouches or cassettes.
