LOTUS Gracey Curette 17/18 , Blue Crystal (Helmut Zepf Mfg. No. 24.237.17G)

The Gracey Curette 17/18 in Blue Crystal from Helmut Zepf is a precision-engineered periodontal instrument built for the demands of daily clinical practice. Area-specific and expertly balanced, this instrument gives dental professionals the tactile sensitivity and control required for thorough posterior debridement.

Area-Specific Design for Posterior Application

The 17/18 tip geometry is optimized for posterior teeth and root surfaces, featuring a single area-specific cutting edge, a rounded toe, and a blunt outside edge that protects surrounding soft tissue. The slightly flexible shaft transmits responsive tactile feedback, enabling clinicians to detect and efficiently remove biofilm and calculus deposits with confidence.

LOTUS Design Handle

The LOTUS Design handle distinguishes this Gracey Curette from conventional instruments. Its unique shape and surface microstructure provide outstanding grip control and comfort throughout extended procedures, while remaining easier to clean than traditional serrated or textured handles. Blue Crystal color coding enables fast, accurate chairside identification and brings a refined aesthetic to any instrument setup.

QuickFix Exchangeable Tip System

Compatibility with the Helmut Zepf QuickFix exchangeable tip system is a key advantage of this Gracey Curette. Working tips can be replaced quickly as needed, reducing clinical downtime and offering a cost-effective alternative to repeated sharpening or full instrument replacement.
