Gracey Curette 15-16 Double Ended Dual End Hollow Handle

Gracey Curette 15-16 Double-Ended (Hollow Handle)

Description
The Gracey Curette 15/16 (double-ended) with a lightweight hollow stainless steel handle is a precision periodontal instrument specifically designed for scaling and root planing on the mesial surfaces of posterior molars and premolars. This area-specific curette’s geometry provides exceptional access to difficult-to-reach mesial root surfaces, while the hollow handle reduces overall weight and improves tactile sensitivity, enhancing clinician comfort and control.

Key Features

• Area-Specific Blade (15/16): The 15/16 Gracey blade is angled for effective access to mesial aspects of posterior teeth, offering superior adaptation to root anatomy.

• Double-Ended Design: Two working ends in one instrument increase efficiency during periodontal therapy, allowing quick switching between sites without changing tools.

• Hollow Stainless Steel Handle: The hollow handle (approx. 8 mm diameter) reduces the instrument’s weight (~18–20 g), improving tactile sensitivity and reducing clinician fatigue.

• Non-Slip Grip: The handle typically features knurling or grip channels to maintain a secure hold even when wet.

• Durable Cutting Edge: Made from high-quality stainless steel, providing sharp, long-lasting cutting performance for effective scaling.

• Sterilizable & Reusable: Fully autoclavable, designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles without loss of sharpness or alignment.

• Ergonomic Design: The balanced design of the curette offers precise control, making it suitable for deep periodontal pockets and delicate work.

Applications

• Periodontal scaling and root planing on mesial surfaces of posterior teeth (molars and premolars).

• Removal of subgingival calculus in tight or hard-to-reach areas.

• Maintenance therapy for periodontal patients to debride mesial root surfaces.

• Use in both clinical (chairside) and surgical periodontal procedures due to its precision and reach.

Ideal For

• Dental hygienists and periodontists who perform detailed subgingival instrumentation.

• Dental clinics that need a reliable, area-specific curette for posterior mesial surfaces.

• Students and educators in dental hygiene or periodontology training.

• Practices focused on periodontal therapy, root planing, and long-term maintenance.
