What makes LASCHAL® Instruments Special…

As a practicing periodontist now in his 5th decade of practice, I am aware of the value of instrumentation in performing many of the challenging surgical procedures necessary to the profession. I have been using the LASCHAL® instruments for decades. The unique design makes suture removal and tissue control significantly more effective and less stressful. The instruments, which were designed by a dentist who understood the needs of his fellow practitioners, have filled a need that was missing from more traditional instrument makers without the intimate knowledge of our profession as LASCHAL® has demonstrated. All my surgical setups in my office use the LASCHAL® instruments. I highly recommend them to all fellow practitioners who want to make their procedures less stressful and more effective.
