1W Wakefield Bi-Bevel Chisel 2.7 mm, Single-Ended Tooth Splitting Chisel

The Wakefield bi-bevel chisel 1W is a bi-bevel single-ended instrument designed for splitting and sectioning teeth during surgical extraction, using the same symmetric force distribution mechanism found across bi-bevel bone chisels. The bi-bevel tip carries beveled cutting edges on both faces of the blade, so the splitting force is distributed evenly between them rather than concentrated on one angled face as with a mono-bevel chisel, producing a centered split rather than one that deflects the tooth to one side.

At 2.7 mm blade width, the 1W is the narrower of the two Wakefield sizes and is suited to single-rooted or narrow teeth, premolars, and sites with tight interproximal access where the wider 3 mm 2W would engage more tooth structure than the split requires. The narrower blade also allows entry into confined furcation or interproximal spaces without unnecessary bone or tooth removal.

Clinically, the 1W and 2W Wakefield chisels are typically stocked as a matched pair, with the 1W selected for narrower anterior and premolar sites and the 2W reserved for molars and wider splitting tasks. Single-ended, medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, autoclavable.

Product Features

• 1W Wakefield Bi-Bevel Chisel 2.7 mm splits narrow or single-rooted teeth with symmetric, centered force
• Bi-bevel tip distributes splitting force evenly across both blade faces for a controlled, centered split
• 2.7 mm blade width suited to premolars and tight interproximal or furcation access
• Single-ended design for directional control during surgical extraction
• Matched pair with the 3 mm 2W Wakefield for narrow versus standard splitting tasks
• Medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable

1W vs 2W Wakefield: Same bi-bevel single-ended design, but the 1W’s 2.7 mm blade is for narrower, single-rooted teeth and tight access, while the 2W’s 3 mm blade is the standard size for molars and wider splitting tasks.

Matched Pair: The 1W and 2W Wakefield Bi-Bevel Chisels are designed as a matched narrow/standard pair for tooth splitting. Stock both to cover single-rooted and narrow sites (1W) alongside molars and standard splitting tasks (2W).
