LOTUS Gracey Curette 17/18 , Blue Crystal (Helmut Zepf Mfg. No. 24.237.17G)

The Gracey Curette 17/18 in Blue Crystal from Helmut Zepf represents a precise, ergonomic instrument engineered for demanding periodontal workflows. Designed for posterior teeth and root surfaces, this instrument delivers the control and tactile sensitivity that dental professionals rely on throughout a full clinical day.

Area-Specific Design for Posterior Application

The Gracey Curette 17/18 tip is optimized for posterior regions, featuring a single, area-specific cutting edge, a rounded toe, and a blunt outside edge that protects surrounding soft tissue. The slightly flexible shaft provides responsive tactile feedback, enabling clinicians to accurately detect and efficiently remove biofilm and calculus deposits along the root surface.

LOTUS Design Handle

The LOTUS Design handle sets this Gracey Curette apart from conventional instruments. Its unique shape and surface microstructure deliver outstanding grip control and comfort during extended procedures, while remaining easier to clean than traditional serrated or textured handles. The Blue Crystal color coding allows for fast, accurate chairside identification and brings a refined aesthetic to your instrument setup.

QuickFix Exchangeable Tip System

A key advantage of this Gracey Curette is compatibility with the Helmut Zepf QuickFix exchangeable tip system. Tips can be replaced quickly as needed, reducing downtime and offering a cost-effective alternative to repeated sharpening or full instrument replacement.
