Round Excavator 1.4-1.6 mm - Grey Silicone Slim Handle
The Round Excavator is a double-ended operative hand instrument engineered for removing soft dentin, decalcified tissue, and residual caries from prepared cavities. Each working end carries a small rounded spoon whose ground cutting periphery scoops debris cleanly without over-extending the preparation margins. The stainless-steel shanks are offset at both ends so the mesial and distal walls of a cavity can be reached from a single pen grasp. A cushioned silicone-sleeved slim handle dampens vibration and helps the operator maintain a relaxed pinch grip through longer restorative appointments. Supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments and fully autoclavable, the excavator fits standard cassette-based sterilisation workflows.
