LOTUS Langer Curette 5/6 , Purple Crystal (Helmut Zepf Mfg. No. 24.231.05L)
The Gracey Curette 5/6 in the LOTUS Design series from Helmut Zepf is a precision periodontal instrument engineered for modern dental professionals who demand ergonomic excellence and clinical reliability. Designed specifically for anterior teeth and their root surfaces, this instrument features an area-specific cutting edge, a rounded toe, and a blunt outside edge that protect delicate soft tissue throughout every stroke.
LOTUS Design Handle
The LOTUS Design handle distinguishes this Gracey Curette from conventional periodontal instruments. Its unique form and surface microstructure deliver outstanding grip and control during extended clinical sessions, actively reducing hand fatigue while preserving tactile sensitivity. The handle is also notably easier to clean than traditional serrated or textured alternatives, supporting stringent infection control protocols in any clinical environment.
Purple Crystal Color Identification
The Purple Crystal finish on this LOTUS Design instrument enables quick, accurate chairside identification. Color-coding streamlines tray setup, minimizes the risk of instrument mix-ups during procedures, and adds a refined aesthetic to your instrument arrangement.
Responsive Tip Performance
The working ends of this Gracey Curette feature a slightly flexible shaft and sharp cutting edges that provide responsive tactile feedback. Clinicians can confidently detect and efficiently remove biofilm and calculus deposits along root surfaces, improving both clinical outcomes and patient comfort.
QuickFix Exchangeable Tip System
This instrument is compatible with the Helmut Zepf QuickFix exchangeable tip system, enabling rapid, cost-effective tip replacement without repeated sharpening or full instrument disposal — saving time and resources across your practice.
