LOTUS Gracey Curette 15/16 , Purple Crystal (Helmut Zepf Mfg. No. 24.234.15G)
The LOTUS Design Gracey Curette 15/16 from Helmut Zepf delivers the precision, control, and ergonomic comfort that dental professionals demand for thorough periodontal instrumentation. Designed for area-specific scaling and root planing, this instrument reflects Helmut Zepf's commitment to innovation and sustainability in clinical dentistry.
Instrument Design and Application
The Gracey Curette 15/16 tip is optimized for precise instrumentation on the posterior teeth, targeting mesial surfaces with reliable accuracy. Like all Gracey Curettes, it features a single, area-specific cutting edge, a rounded toe, and a blunt outside edge to safeguard surrounding soft tissue during treatment. The slightly flexible shaft provides responsive tactile feedback, enabling clinicians to detect and efficiently remove biofilm and deposits along the root surface.
LOTUS Design Handle
The distinctive Purple Crystal LOTUS Design handle sets this Gracey Curette apart both functionally and visually. The unique shape and surface microstructure of the LOTUS handle provide outstanding grip and control throughout extended clinical sessions, while remaining easier to clean than traditional serrated or textured handles — an important advantage for infection control and instrument longevity.
QuickFix Exchangeable Tip System
A key benefit of the LOTUS Design Gracey Curette line is compatibility with the Helmut Zepf QuickFix exchangeable tip system. Clinicians can quickly replace worn tips as needed, eliminating time spent sharpening and reducing the overall cost of instrument maintenance without compromising clinical performance.
