2.4.3. HELBO®
3D Endo Probe
Sterile optical fibres for
three-dimensional exposure of infected tissue surfaces
during antimicrobial Photodynamic
therapy, five units per pack.
The
HELBO®
3D Endo Probe
looks almost identical to the
HELBO®
3D Pocket Probe
. But the
HELBO®
3D Endo Probe
is
completely different as regards its functionality..
The
HELBO®
3D Endo Probe
has a protective metallic tube, which makes it robust enough for use in root canals. The
long thin optical fibre has been developed for use in root canals based on a preparation size of
ideally ISO 45
.
The front cylindrical area of the
HELBO®
3D Endo Probe
is ground by means of a special process. This favours even
light distribution across the entire lateral radiation area of 12 mm.
The
HELBO®
3D Endo Probe
emits radiation with increased power in a forwards direction to ensure the apex is ade-
quately irradiated.
The
HELBO®
3D Endo Probe
is particularly suitable for the following indications:
• Root disinfection as part of antimicrobial Photodynamic therapy
When using the
HELBO®
3D Endo Probe
, bring it as close as possible to the dye-stained bacteria, including apically.
Make sure the root canal receives full exposure.
Exposure time should be at least 60 sec. per root canal.
The average power density for the
HELBO®
3D Endo Probe
is at least 55 mW/cm² at the surface.
NOTE: The
HELBO®
3D Endo Probe
is a sterile medical product intended for one-time use. Do not re-ster-
ilise it. If the packaging is damaged, dispose of the product.
