LOTUS Gracey Curette 5/6 M5 Deep Scaling, Yellow Crystal (Helmut Zepf Mfg. No. 24.231.05GM5)

The Gracey Curette 5/6 M5 from Helmut Zepf is a precision periodontal instrument engineered for deep scaling and thorough root surface debridement. Part of the LOTUS Design series, this Gracey Curette features a single, area-specific cutting edge, a rounded toe, and a blunt outer surface — all designed to protect soft tissue while delivering exceptional clinical performance on anterior teeth and roots.

LOTUS Design Handle

The distinctive LOTUS Design handle sets this instrument apart from conventional options. Its unique shape and surface microstructure provide outstanding ergonomic comfort and precise control throughout extended clinical sessions. Unlike traditional serrated or textured handles, the LOTUS Design is easier to clean, supporting robust infection control protocols without compromising grip quality. The Yellow Crystal color coding enables rapid chairside identification and adds a refined aesthetic to your instrument setup.

Responsive Tactile Feedback

The slightly flexible shaft and sharp working ends of this Gracey Curette deliver responsive tactile feedback, allowing clinicians to accurately detect and efficiently remove biofilm and calculus deposits along root surfaces. This makes the instrument especially well-suited for thorough deep scaling procedures where precision and sensitivity are paramount.

QuickFix Exchangeable Tip System

This instrument utilizes the Helmut Zepf QuickFix exchangeable tip system, enabling clinicians to replace tips quickly and cost-effectively as needed. This reduces downtime and long-term instrument costs compared to conventional sharpening or full instrument replacement — a practical advantage in any high-volume practice.

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.
