The flexible blade is inserted into the periodontal ligament space and is used in a rocking and rotating motion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe benefits of the flexible blade are that it follows the curve of the tooth root, helping to reduce the risk of root fracture, and damage to surrounding bone and adjacent teeth. The slight bending under pressure provides tactile feedback, so resistance can be felt and adjusted accordingly. This helps reduce trauma. They can be used first to help loosen the tooth in combination with luxators and elevators or independently depending on the extraction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pioneer Veterinary Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59067722826076,"sku":"D662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0882\/5067\/9644\/files\/14-254-02_TIT_0__44830.webp?v=1789016898","url":"https:\/\/www.pioneervet.co.uk\/products\/periotome-straight-serrated-2mm","provider":"Pioneer Veterinary Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
