Curette Insert, Gracey 7 M5, ZEPF NANOPAL Coating

Gracey Curette Insert with ZEPF NANOPAL Coating

The Gracey Curette Insert Gracey 7 M5 from Helmut Zepf GmbH delivers professional-grade precision for subgingival scaling and root planing. Engineered to meet the demanding standards of modern periodontal practice, this insert combines the trusted Gracey design with the advanced ZEPF NANOPAL coating technology for enhanced durability and performance.

ZEPF NANOPAL Coating Technology

The NANOPAL coating applied to this Gracey Curette Insert provides a refined surface finish that supports smooth instrumentation and helps maintain edge integrity over repeated sterilization cycles. This specialized coating is designed to reduce friction during subgingival access, allowing for more controlled and efficient calculus removal without undue stress on surrounding soft tissue.

Gracey 7 M5 Design

The Gracey 7 design is area-specific, making it particularly suited for buccal and lingual surfaces of posterior teeth. The M5 designation refers to Zepf's deep-scaling design — a longer, thinner and more flexible first shank with a shortened working end (see Design Notes below) — giving clinicians a highly tactile feel in deep, narrow pockets. The combination of a well-established curette geometry with the NANOPAL surface treatment makes this Gracey Curette Insert a reliable choice for compatible Helmut Zepf interchangeable-insert handles.

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. Manufacturer literature (PDF).

Specifications: Zepf No. 24.751.107GM5OX

The Gracey 7 working end is an area-specific curette for the facial and lingual surfaces of posterior teeth, used for subgingival scaling and root planing; the M5 version has a longer, thinner first shank and a shortened blade for deep, narrow pockets. The ZEPF NANOPAL coating gives a harder surface that holds its edge longer. Replacing the insert alone restores a sharp working end while the handle stays in service.
