LOTUS Gracey Curette 15/16 , Purple Crystal (Helmut Zepf Mfg. No. 24.234.15G)

The LOTUS Design Gracey Curette 15/16 from Helmut Zepf is engineered for dental professionals who require precision, control, and ergonomic comfort during periodontal instrumentation. Designed for area-specific scaling and root planing on posterior teeth, this instrument exemplifies Helmut Zepf's commitment to clinical innovation and sustainability.

Instrument Design and Application

The 15/16 tip configuration of this Gracey Curette is optimized for mesial surfaces of posterior teeth, delivering reliable, area-specific cutting efficiency. Like all instruments in the Gracey series, it features a single area-specific cutting edge, a rounded toe, and a blunt outside edge that protects surrounding soft tissue during treatment. The slightly flexible shaft transmits responsive tactile feedback, enabling clinicians to detect and remove biofilm and calculus deposits along the root surface with confidence.

LOTUS Design Handle — Purple Crystal

The Purple Crystal LOTUS Design handle distinguishes this instrument both functionally and visually. Its unique geometry and surface microstructure provide outstanding grip and control throughout extended clinical sessions. Compared to traditional serrated or textured handles, the LOTUS handle is notably easier to clean, offering a meaningful advantage for infection control and long-term instrument longevity.

QuickFix Exchangeable Tip System

Compatibility with the Helmut Zepf QuickFix exchangeable tip system is a defining feature of the LOTUS Design Gracey Curette line. Clinicians can replace worn tips rapidly without tools, eliminating the time and cost associated with sharpening and reducing the need for full instrument replacement — all without compromising clinical performance.
