Bard-Parker® Blade, Size 12B Periodontia

Bard-Parker® Blade, Size 12B Periodontia

The Bard-Parker® Blade, Size 12B Periodontia is a sterile, single-use surgical knife blade designed for precision cutting and controlled access in periodontal and other fine soft-tissue procedures. Manufactured to deliver consistent sharpness and edge integrity, the 12B pattern features a compact, hook-style cutting edge that supports accurate, shallow incisions and careful tissue management in confined operative fields. Its geometry is suited to clinicians who require reliable tactile feedback and clean cutting performance when working around delicate structures.

As part of the knives category, this blade is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in appropriate clinical environments. The 12B design is commonly selected when a curved cutting edge and pointed tip are advantageous for initiating incisions and following anatomical contours. When mounted to a compatible Bard-Parker handle, the blade provides a stable platform for controlled movements, helping support predictable results during procedures where visibility and access may be limited.

Intended Use

The Bard-Parker® 12B Periodontia blade is intended for incision and dissection of soft tissue during dental and surgical procedures where a small, curved cutting edge is preferred. Typical use settings include periodontal surgery and other fine soft-tissue interventions performed by qualified clinicians. Use should follow institutional policies, applicable regulations, and accepted clinical technique.

Compatibility
