LOTUS QuickFix Langer Curette 5/6, Yellow Crystal | Helmut Zepf No. 24.231.05L
The Langer Curette 5/6 in the LOTUS Design series from Helmut Zepf is a precision periodontal instrument engineered for modern dental professionals who demand ergonomic excellence and clinical reliability. Designed for anterior teeth and their root surfaces, it pairs the shank of a Gracey 5/6 with a universal blade: two cutting edges and a rounded toe, so one instrument works both mesial and distal surfaces.

LOTUS Design Handle
The LOTUS Design handle distinguishes this Langer Curette from conventional periodontal instruments. Its unique form and surface microstructure deliver outstanding grip and control during extended clinical sessions, actively reducing hand fatigue while preserving tactile sensitivity. The handle is also notably easier to clean than traditional serrated or textured alternatives, supporting stringent infection control protocols in any clinical environment.
Yellow Crystal Color Identification
The Yellow Crystal finish on this LOTUS Design instrument enables quick, accurate chairside identification. Color-coding streamlines tray setup, minimizes the risk of instrument mix-ups during procedures, and adds a refined aesthetic to your instrument arrangement.
Responsive Tip Performance
The working ends of this Langer Curette feature a slightly flexible shaft and sharp cutting edges that provide responsive tactile feedback. Clinicians can confidently detect and efficiently remove biofilm and calculus deposits along root surfaces, improving both clinical outcomes and patient comfort.
QuickFix Exchangeable Tip System
This instrument is compatible with the Helmut Zepf QuickFix exchangeable tip system, enabling rapid, cost-effective tip replacement without repeated sharpening or full instrument disposal — saving time and resources across your practice.
