11/12 ODU Double-Ended After Five Explorer

11/12 ODU Double-Ended After Five Explorer

The #11/12 ODU Double-Ended (D/E) After Five Explorer by G14 Surgical is an elite periodontal diagnostic instrument specifically engineered for deep subgingival calculus detection in advanced pocket depths. Based on the classic ODU design, the “After Five” modification features a terminal shank that is elongated by 3 mm compared to standard explorers. This structural advancement allows periodontists and dental hygienists to access deep periodontal pockets exceeding 5 mm and explore complex root furcations without traumatizing the surrounding gingival tissue. Forged from premium surgical stainless steel, it delivers unmatched tactile feedback to easily differentiate between smooth root surfaces and microscopic calculus deposits, while the lightweight, textured handle provides ultimate rotational control.
