Curette Insert, Gracey 2 M5, ZEPF NANOPAL Coating

The Gracey Curette Insert is a precision-engineered periodontal instrument designed for area-specific subgingival scaling and root planing. This Gracey 2 M5 model, featuring Helmut Zepf's proprietary ZEPF NANOPAL Coating, delivers enhanced durability and performance across demanding clinical workflows.

Advanced NANOPAL Coating Technology

The ZEPF NANOPAL Coating applied to this Gracey Curette Insert provides a highly refined surface finish that reduces friction during subgingival instrumentation. The coating is engineered to support edge retention over repeated sterilization cycles, helping maintain consistent cutting effectiveness throughout the instrument's service life.

Area-Specific Design — Gracey 2

The Gracey 2 design is intended for use on anterior teeth and premolars, allowing the clinician to adapt the working end precisely to specific tooth surfaces. The M5 shank configuration offers a balanced combination of reach and rigidity suited to a range of pocket depths commonly encountered in periodontal therapy.

Compatibility and Use

As an insert format, this Gracey Curette Insert is designed to be compatible with modular handle systems, offering the flexibility to customize instrument setups according to individual clinical preference. The instrument is suitable for use in periodontal maintenance, initial therapy, and supportive periodontal care protocols.

FAQ

What teeth is the Gracey 2 designed for? The Gracey 2 is an area-specific design primarily intended for anterior teeth and premolars, allowing precise adaptation to mesial and distal surfaces.

What does the NANOPAL Coating offer? The NANOPAL Coating provides a refined surface treatment that supports reduced friction during instrumentation and contributes to sustained instrument performance over repeated sterilization cycles.

Is this a complete instrument or an insert only? This product is a Gracey Curette Insert and requires a compatible modular handle to be used as a complete instrument.

Design Notes

The M5 design: the first shank is about 3 mm longer than standard and the sharpened working end is shortened, with a 0.95 mm thin, flexible and therefore highly tactile first shaft — built for special subgingival curettage in tight, deep pockets (beyond 5 mm) and along narrow root surfaces. Manufacturer literature (PDF).

Nanopal® coating: the black crystalline nano-coating raises surface hardness to 4,500 Vickers — the highly tempered cutting edge stays aggressive and sharp far longer and does not need resharpening after each curettage, while the scratch-resistant black surface is easy to clean and prevents light reflections.
