LOTUS Gracey Curette 1/2 M5 Deep Scaling, White Crystal (Helmut Zepf Mfg. No. 24.230.01GM5)

The Gracey Curette 1/2 from Helmut Zepf's LOTUS Design series is a precision periodontal instrument engineered for anterior teeth and root surfaces, delivering exceptional tactile feedback and long-term ergonomic comfort. Manufactured under the Helmut Zepf designation 24.230.01GM5, this instrument is a reliable choice for clinicians who demand both performance and durability at the chairside.

Area-Specific Design for Anterior Teeth

The Gracey Curette 1/2 tip is purpose-built for precise application on all aspects of the anterior teeth and roots. Each tip features a single, area-specific cutting edge, a rounded toe, and a blunt outside edge that protects surrounding soft tissue during instrumentation. The slightly flexible shaft and sharp working ends allow clinicians to efficiently detect and remove biofilm and deposits along root surfaces, supporting thorough deep scaling outcomes.

LOTUS Design Handle — Comfort and Control

The LOTUS Design handle distinguishes this Gracey Curette with its unique shape and surface microstructure, providing outstanding grip, control, and comfort throughout a full day of clinical procedures. Unlike traditional serrated or textured handles, the LOTUS Design surface is easier to clean, supporting better infection control and prolonged instrument longevity. The White Crystal color variant enables quick, accurate chairside identification and adds a distinct aesthetic to any instrument setup.

QuickFix Exchangeable Tip System

This instrument utilizes the Helmut Zepf QuickFix exchangeable tip system, allowing clinicians to replace tips quickly as needed. This system reduces both time and cost compared to traditional sharpening or full instrument replacement — a significant advantage in a high-volume practice environment.

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.
