Excavator 1.8 mm - Slim Silicone Handle, Light Grey
The 1.8 mm excavator is a double-ended restorative hand instrument used to remove carious dentin, debris, and remnants of temporary fillings during cavity preparation. Its round spoon blades fall just under the common 2.0 mm size, making them useful when the cavity outline is too narrow for a mid-range head but too broad for a sub-millimetre tip. The instrument from Equate Instruments mounts a stainless-steel working shank into a slim silicone-sleeved handle for a softer, lower-fatigue grip during longer operative appointments. The sleeve is heat-stable for autoclave sterilisation so the full instrument can be processed in pouches or cassettes between patients.
