Micross

Making dental bone harvesting a straightforward procedure

Micross is a dental bone scraper designed for minimally invasive applications. It is suitable for autogenous bone harvesting in narrow spaces. Micross scrapers are intended to collect smaller quantities of bone for the grafting of small defects such as minor periodontal and peri-implant defects. Micross is available in three versions: Straight, Curve, and Max. The Micross Curve features an improved ergonomic design and is easy to use in hard-to-reach areas. The Micross Curve Max increases the harvested bone volume by 20%.1

Why your patients will love the results

Gentle: Harvest precisely the amount of bone needed to fill the defect and reduce overall invasiveness.

Comfort: The narrow design of the Micross scrapers allows you to choose a minimally invasive surgical technique. This approach considerably reduces post-operative discomfort for your patients. Micross Curve Max collects 20% more bone volume, which minimizes the required donor site area.1

Perform with user-friendly and time-saving products

Ease of use: The slim design of the Micross enables efficient bone harvesting in narrow areas. The bent tips of Micross Curve and Micross Curve Max are designed to enhance handling comfort and support access in challenging sites.1

High performance: The blade's sharpness results from a high-precision manufacturing process designed to ensure excellent cutting performance. The collection chamber of the Micross devices can be filled up to 25 times per surgery, with the blade maintaining a constant performance.1
The Micross Curve Max improves harvesting efficiency with its new patented dual-groove blade, increasing gained volume and the specific surface of the harvested bone.1

Exceptional results you can rely on

Increased potential: Combining equal parts of autogenous bone and Geistlich Bio-Oss®, then covering the defect with Geistlich Bio-Gide®, significantly reduces hard tissue resorption.2-4

Cell vitality: Manual bone harvesting preserves the vitality of cortical bone cells. This is a fundamental requirement for successful graft integration and reduced resorption activity.5-7

Explore the handling of the new Micross Curve Max


Micross – minimally invasive autogenous bone harvesting

Optimized for narrow grafting areas
With a diameter of only 5 mm, the Micross scrapers are designed to collect small quantities of cortical bone for minor grafting procedures. Their micro-blade is based on the proven Safescraper Twist technology. It shares the same key benefits, while being one third smaller than the Safescraper blade. This makes the Micross devices particularly well suited for a minimally invasive approach.1
Designed with usability in mind
The pen-like design of the Micross facilitates harvesting even in hard-to-reach and close-to-bone defect areas. Bone shavings are easy to collect by opening the blue lock and gently pushing the plunger forward. The ergonomic design of the Micross Curve and Micross Curve Max improve handling comfort during use.1
Excellent cutting performance
The single-use nature of the Micross devices ensures reliable cutting capability and prevents any loss of efficiency due to device wear. By choosing a single-use device, you can avoid cross-contamination of the harvested bone chips.
Boost bone harvesting volume
The Micross Curve Max features the patented blade style known from the Safescraper Volumizer series. It collects 20% more bone volume, helping you work faster and reducing the required harvesting area.1 The two grooves of the Micross Curve Max blade divide the bone flakes into at least two parts, maximizing their specific surface. This surface defines the total area available for bone cells to attach and grow. Increasing the surface area and thus promoting the release of osteogenic factors enhances new bone formation.8,9
