{"title":"Gracey 1\/2 Curette","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGracey 1\/2\u003c\/strong\u003e is the area-specific curette for the anterior teeth (incisors and canines), all surfaces. Like every Gracey, its blade is offset about 70 degrees to the lower shank with a single working cutting edge, so it adapts to the root without cutting into the pocket wall, and the 1\/2 has a slightly angled shank for direct access to the anterior segment. Helmut Zepf makes it in 9 configurations plus 8 replacement inserts, all in Germany, and every one on this page ships from our US warehouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich Gracey 1\/2 Curette Do

deep pockets: the first shank is about 3 mm longer than standard and only 0.95 mm thin, so it flexes and transmits tactile information, and the working end is shortened for access beyond 5 mm and along narrow root surfaces. \u003cstrong\u003eNANOPAL\u003c\/strong\u003e is a surface coating that leaves the instrument smoother and more corrosion-resistant, so it resists staining and reprocesses more easily. \u003cstrong\u003eTitanium\u003c\/strong\u003e working ends are for use around implants, where steel would mark the implant surface. The \u003cstrong\u003eZEPF-bIONIK\u003c\/strong\u003e handle is Zepf’s ergonomic, colour-coded handle with a textured grip that reduces hand fatigue. The \u003cstrong\u003eZ-SHAPE Relax\u003c\/strong\u003e handle is contoured for a relaxed modified pen grasp and takes interchangeable inserts. \u003cstrong\u003eTOUCHGRIP\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Hürzeler \/ Zuhr series built for rotational control in surgical work, with matte working tips. The \u003cstrong\u003eLOTUS\u003c\/strong\u003e line puts the same working ends on a coloured crystal handle.
