Hu-Friedy Periodontal Knives for Gingival Surgery
Periodontal knives are precision soft-tissue instruments designed for controlled gingival incisions during periodontal surgery. Each pattern is engineered for a specific incision angle, tissue access, or surgical technique — from classic gingivectomy to advanced tunneling and mucogingival procedures.
Clinical Applications
- Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty incisions
- Periodontal flap surgery and intrasulcular incisions
- Interproximal soft-tissue removal and recontouring
- Connective tissue grafting and mucogingival surgery
- Soft-tissue tunneling and periosteal separation
Patterns Available
- Kirkland (15K / 16K) – Classic kidney-shaped blades for initial bevel incisions in gingivectomy; available single- and double-ended
- Orban (No. 1 & 2) – Spear-shaped interproximal knives for posterior soft-tissue access; available single- and double-ended
