This tool has two different precise ends: a slightly bent and beveled knife with a blade width of 3.5 mm and a rounded, convex chisel with a blade width of 5 mm. The handle is slightly notched to reduce slipping during use.

It is autoclavable with sterilization temperatures of 121 °C for 15 minutes or higher deactivation temperatures of 132–134 °C at 3 bars pressure. Improper sterilization may cause discoloration, pitting, or corrosion of the metal.
