Professional No. 23 BS Pointed Periodontal Probe & Explorer

Product Overview

The Ecamed Internationals No. 23 BS Pointed Curved Probe (commercially recognized as the Shepherd’s Hook explorer) is an indispensable diagnostic instrument for every dental operatory. Engineered with a smooth, sweeping curve and an ultra-fine apex, it allows clinicians to effortlessly trace tooth structures, identify pit-and-fissure cavities, and inspect restorative margins. The anti-glare satin silver finish ensures perfect visibility under bright dental chair lighting.

Premium Quality Material

Made entirely from clinical-grade surgical stainless steel, this diagnostic explorer offers superior structural strength and maximum tip durability. The high-performance alloy ensures that the fine, pointed tip remains sharp, rigid, and perfectly aligned without breaking or dulling over extended diagnostic sessions.

Precision Shepherd’s Hook Curved Design

The defining feature of the 23 BS probe is its classic curved hook profile, optimized to follow the anatomical surfaces of both anterior and posterior teeth. The hand-finished pointed tip delivers exceptional tactile sensitivity, allowing dentists and hygienists to instantly feel structural soft spots, hidden decay, catch-points, and subgingival margins.

Ergonomic Non-Slip Grip Handle

Designed to maximize user comfort and micro-control during fine diagnostic maneuvers. The handle is equipped with deep circumferential ridges that guarantee an excellent, non-slip hold even when operating with wet clinical gloves. The lightweight, balanced hollow handle design minimizes finger and wrist fatigue during routine oral examinations.

Professional Clinical Reliability

Built strictly to comply with modern dental manufacturing and orthodontic diagnostic standards. The ultra-sharp tip is engineered to detect dental issues at early stages while minimizing patient discomfort, giving clinicians the highly responsive, crisp physical feedback they trust.

Easy to Clean & Sterilize

Hygiene is a priority in any dental office. This solid stainless steel instrument is fully autoclavable and can safely undergo repeated high-temperature sterilization, ultrasonic cleaning, and chemical disinfection cycles without losing its fine finish or compromising tip integrity.
