NiTi Perio Saw®
for clear & smooth extraction
A flexible, micro-serrated veterinary periotome with a super-elastic nickel-titanium (NiTi) blade. It cuts the periodontal ligament (PDL) around the root with controlled movement, so the tooth can be extracted with minimal force — saving the surrounding bone.
Why a periotome saw, not a plain periotome
A conventional periotome has a plain blade. The NiTi Perio Saw has a serrated one.
Micro serration tip
A micro saw on the blade edge cuts the periodontal ligament clearly instead of tearing it.
Super-elastic NiTi
The tip bends up to 180° and springs back straight, following the curvature of the root.
Save the surrounding bone
Atraumatic, tissue-preserving PDL cutting for a clear extraction.
Controlled entry
The serration prevents slipping and gives precise directional entry into the ligament space.
“NiTi Perio Saw with micro serration” cuts the periodontal ligaments clearly.
A hand instrument — no motor, no handpiece. Push and draw gently in short strokes to cut the ligament around the root, with full tactile control.

What is the NiTi Perio Saw?
A hand-held veterinary periotome with a micro-serrated nickel-titanium blade. It cuts the periodontal ligament (PDL) around the root so that the tooth can be extracted with less force.
How is it different from a conventional periotome?
A conventional periotome has a plain blade. The NiTi Perio Saw has micro serration on the blade edge, which prevents slipping, gives precise directional entry into the ligament space and cuts the ligament clearly.
Which tip should I choose?
Straight for anterior teeth, Curved for canine or premolar, Angled for mesial and distal, and Flat angled for interproximal. Each has a 2 mm tip and is available individually or as a set of four.
Is it reusable and how is it sterilised?
Yes. It is supplied non-sterile and is reusable. Autoclave it wrapped at 134 °C for 15 minutes and dry for 20 minutes.
Who can buy it?
This shop sells only to veterinarians and veterinary clinics, in the EU, the United States and other markets shown at checkout. The NiTi Perio Saw is for veterinary use only and is not for human use.
Who makes the NiTi Perio Saw®?
HANS Korea Co., Ltd. in Paju, Republic of Korea, designs and manufactures the NiTi Perio Saw® (also written NiTi PerioSaw). Perio Saw® is a registered EU trade mark of HANS Korea (EUTM No. 018462350). periosaw.com is the manufacturer's own shop for veterinarians and veterinary clinics; the instrument is also available through authorised distributors.
What is the difference between a periotome, a luxator and an elevator?
All three work in the periodontal ligament space. An elevator has a thicker blade and is rotated to fatigue and tear the ligament. A luxating elevator has a thinner, sharper blade that cuts it. A periotome is the thinnest and divides the ligament along the root. The NiTi Perio Saw® is a periotome-type instrument with a micro-serrated nickel-titanium blade.
Can the NiTi Perio Saw® be used to lever or elevate the root?
No. According to the instructions for use, it is pushed and drawn back gently in the ligament space to cut the periodontal ligament around the root, and the tooth is then extracted with minimal force. Do not twist it and do not use it to elevate the root.
Can it be used on an ankylosed tooth?
No. The instructions for use exclude ankylosed teeth. Where the periodontal ligament space is not visible on radiographs, there is no ligament for a periotome-type instrument to cut.
How much does it cost?
€100 for a single tip (Straight, Curved, Angled or Flat angled) and €300 for the set of four. Shipping cost and any import VAT or duties are shown at checkout. Orders are accepted from veterinarians and veterinary clinics only.
