Frequently asked questions
1. What instruments are used in minor oral surgery?
Minor oral surgery uses extraction forceps and elevators to remove teeth, periosteal elevators and retractors to raise and hold flaps, bone curettes and rongeurs for bone, and needle holders with scissors for suturing. A scalpel handle, tissue forceps, and a mouth prop complete a basic exodontia and surgical setup.
2. What is the difference between an Austin and a Minnesota retractor?
An Austin and a Minnesota retractor differ in shape and coverage. An Austin retractor is a small right-angled blade for retracting a single flap or cheek, while a Minnesota retractor is a broader contoured blade that retracts both the cheek and the flap at once, giving wider exposure during third-molar surgery.
3. Are Waldent surgical instruments genuine and autoclavable?
Yes. Waldent surgical instruments are supplied genuine through waldent.com and authorised dealers, made from surgical stainless steel, and are fully autoclavable at 135°C. Both individual instruments and complete surgical kits are stocked, with bulk and college-tender pricing available for high-volume procurement.
