LOTUS Gracey Curette 13/14 M5 Deep Scaling, Blue Crystal (Helmut Zepf Mfg. No. 24.237.13GM5)

The Gracey Curette 13/14 M5 from Helmut Zepf is a precision instrument engineered for deep scaling procedures on posterior teeth and roots, featuring the distinctive LOTUS Design handle in Blue Crystal. Combining ergonomic innovation with clinical accuracy, this instrument is a trusted choice for dental hygienists and dentists who demand efficiency and control throughout the clinical day.

Area-Specific Design for Deep Scaling

This Gracey Curette 13/14 configuration is purpose-built for posterior teeth and root surfaces, targeting specific areas with consistent accuracy. It features a single, area-specific cutting edge, a rounded toe, and a blunt outside edge, all of which work together to protect surrounding soft tissue during scaling and root planing procedures.

LOTUS Design Handle

The LOTUS Design handle offers a unique shape and surface microstructure that delivers outstanding control and comfort throughout extended clinical use. Unlike traditional serrated or textured handles, the LOTUS Design is significantly easier to clean, supporting better infection control and improving ergonomic efficiency. The Blue Crystal colorway provides clear visual identification in a busy clinical environment.

Flexible Shaft and Tactile Feedback

The working end of this Gracey Curette incorporates a slightly flexible shaft and sharp working ends, providing responsive tactile feedback. This sensitivity helps clinicians detect and efficiently remove biofilm and calculus deposits along the root surface during deep scaling, improving both clinical outcomes and patient comfort.

QuickFix Exchangeable Tip System

A significant advantage of LOTUS Design instruments is their compatibility with the Helmut Zepf QuickFix exchangeable tip system. Tips can be replaced quickly as needed, eliminating time spent on sharpening and reducing overall instrument replacement costs without sacrificing performance.

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.
