McCall Curette 13S-14S Hollow Handle

McCall Curette 13S-14S – Double-Ended, Hollow-Handle Periodontal Curette

Description
The McCall 13S-14S curette with hollow stainless-steel handle is a versatile periodontal instrument designed for supragingival and subgingival scaling and root planing. With a double-ended configuration and universal-blade design, it allows clinicians to remove plaque and calculus from nearly all tooth surfaces — anterior or posterior — with enhanced access and control. The hollow handle reduces overall weight and increases tactile sensitivity, improving ergonomics and reducing clinician fatigue during lengthy procedures.

Key Features

• Universal / McCall Blade (13S-14S) — The 13S/14S blade is designed with sharp cutting edges on both sides and a pointed tip, making it effective for light to moderate calculus removal from both supragingival and subgingival areas. 

• Double-Ended Configuration — Two working ends (13S and 14S) in one instrument offer flexibility: by simply rotating the curette, the clinician can access opposite surfaces without changing instruments.

• Hollow Stainless Steel Handle — The hollow-handle design reduces instrument weight (~18–20 g depending on model), improving tactile feedback and reducing hand fatigue during prolonged scaling sessions. 

• Ergonomic Grip — Handle is often knurled or textured to provide a non-slip grip even when wet, ensuring control and stability during instrumentation.

• Durable Stainless Steel Construction — High-grade stainless steel ensures corrosion resistance, long-term durability, and suitability for repeated sterilization (autoclavable).

• Versatile Utility — Effective for both supra- and subgingival debridement on anterior and posterior teeth; suitable for scaling, root planing, and maintenance therapy.

Applications

• Removal of supragingival and subgingival calculus on all tooth surfaces — buccal, lingual, mesial, distal.

• Root planing and periodontal debridement during initial therapy or maintenance recalls.

• Cleaning moderate calculus deposits on incisors, canines, premolars, and many posterior teeth.

• Routine periodontal maintenance, prophylaxis, and hygiene visits where universal instrumentation is needed.

Ideal For

• Dental hygienists and periodontists needing a universal curette that works across tooth types and surfaces.

• Clinics seeking a single instrument that covers wide range: anterior to posterior, supra- to sub-gingival cleaning.

• Practices that emphasize clinician comfort and ergonomics — lightweight handle reduces hand fatigue.

• Students and dental professionals learning or using universal periodontal instrumentation protocols.
