LOTUS Gracey Curette 7/8 M5 Deep Scaling, Magenta Crystal (Helmut Zepf Mfg. No. 24.235.07GM5)

The Gracey Curette 7/8 M5 from Helmut Zepf is a precision deep-scaling instrument engineered for clinicians who demand exacting control, tactile sensitivity, and long-term ergonomic comfort at the chair. Featuring the iconic LOTUS Design handle in Magenta Crystal, this instrument represents a forward-thinking approach to periodontal instrumentation.

Area-Specific Design for Deep Scaling

The Gracey Curette 7/8 tip is area-specific, designed for precise application on posterior teeth and roots, making it well-suited for deep scaling in molar and premolar regions. Like all instruments in the Gracey series, it features a single cutting edge, a rounded toe, and a blunt outer edge to protect surrounding soft tissue during treatment. The slightly flexible shaft provides responsive tactile feedback, enabling clinicians to detect and efficiently remove biofilm and calculus deposits along the root surface.

The LOTUS Design Handle

The LOTUS Design handle offers a distinct advantage over conventional serrated or textured handles. Its unique shape and surface microstructure deliver outstanding grip and comfort throughout extended clinical sessions, while remaining easier to sterilize and clean. The Magenta Crystal color allows for fast, accurate chairside identification, adding a functional yet refined element to your instrument setup.

QuickFix Exchangeable Tip System

This Gracey Curette utilizes the Helmut Zepf QuickFix exchangeable tip system, allowing practitioners to replace worn tips quickly without sharpening or replacing the entire instrument — saving both time and cost in day-to-day clinical operations.

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.
