Gracey Curette 3-4 – Double-Ended with Hollow Handle
Description
The Gracey Curette #3/4 with a hollow handle is a specialized periodontal instrument designed for subgingival scaling, root planing, and calculus removal on anterior tooth surfaces, especially incisors and canines. The double-ended design offers two mirrored working blades, making it efficient and versatile. The hollow stainless steel handle reduces instrument weight while preserving strength, enhancing tactile sensitivity for the clinician.
Key Features
-
Area-Specific Blade #3/4: Gracey curettes are area-specific curettes, and the 3-4 blade is optimized for anterior teeth (lingual and facial surfaces).
-
Offset Blade Design: The blade is angled (offset) so that only the lower cutting edge is used, allowing precise adaptation to tooth root anatomy.
-
Hollow Stainless Steel Handle: Lightweight hollow handle provides balance and enhanced tactile grip.
-
Double-Ended Construction: Two working ends on a single instrument improve efficiency and reduce the need for instrument changes during scaling.
-
Autoclavable & Reusable: Made from medical-grade stainless steel, the curette can be sterilized repeatedly without losing edge or alignment.
-
Sharp, High-Quality Cutting Edge: The working tips often use stainless steel for strong, long-lasting cutting performance.
-
Ergonomic Design: The handle often features knurling or gripping channels to prevent slip and provide control during delicate periodontal work.
