A double-ended CPITN-C probe on a moulded silicone handle, for periodontal screening. The ball tip stops the probe penetrating the base of the pocket, and the black band gives an immediate read of whether a site falls inside or outside the healthy range. Ball tip prevents over-penetration during screening Black band gives an at-a-glance healthy or diseased reading Ergonomic silicone handle reduces pinch force and hand fatigue AISI 304 stainless steel working ends, fully autoclavable FAQsWhat is a CPITN probe used for?Periodontal screening and BPE scoring. It lets you score a sextant quickly without measuring every site precisely, which is what makes it a screening rather than a charting instrument.Why choose a silicone handle?A moulded silicone handle is wider and lighter than a solid steel one, so it takes less pinch force to control the instrument. Across a full day of appointments that means noticeably less hand fatigue, and the textured surface keeps its grip when wet or gloved.What material is this instrument made from?The working ends are AISI 304 stainless steel, set into a moulded silicone handle. Both are fully autoclavable.Part of our diagnostic range alongside the CP-11, CP-12, UNC-15, WHO and Nabers furcation probes.Manufactured by InstruDental, UK specialists in dental hand instruments.
