FAQ

What does the M5 designation mean? M5 is Zepf's deep-scaling design: the first shank is about 3 mm longer, thinner and more flexible, with a shortened working end, built for tight, deep pockets beyond 5 mm. The insert threads into compatible Helmut Zepf interchangeable-insert handles.

Is the Langer Universal Curette Insert suitable for both anterior and posterior teeth? Yes, its universal blade design is intended for use across multiple surfaces and tooth types.

Can this insert be sterilized? It is designed for clinical use and is compatible with standard sterilization protocols; always follow your facility's infection control guidelines.

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.
