- A double-ended universal curette used by dental professionals for removing calculus from all supra- and subgingival tooth surfaces, particularly in tight spaces
Applications:
- Universal periodontal scaling:
- This instrument is designed for the effective removal of moderate to heavy calculus from all tooth surfaces
- Subgingival debridement:
- The tips are specifically crafted for the removal of calculus deposits from below the gumline
- Accessing tight interdental spaces:
- The strongly curved, slightly shorter shank compared to other McCall curettes, allows for better maneuverability in restricted areas
- Root planing:
- The two sharp cutting edges can also be used for root planing to smooth the tooth's root surface
Features:
- McCall 17S/18S design:
- The instrument has double ends, each with strongly curved universal blades and two sharp cutting edges
- Ergonomic handle:
- The instrument features a lightweight (15-gram), ergonomic polymer handle with a non-slip grip
- This design helps to reduce hand and wrist fatigue during procedures
- SmartSharp technology:
- The tips are made from heat-treated, cryo-hardened 440A stainless steel
- This technology ensures the tips maintain a sharp edge and precise angle for greater efficiency and less repetitive motion for the user
- Double-ended design:
- The instrument has both a 13S and 14S working end, which provides versatility for addressing different tooth anatomies with a single instrument
- Autoclavable:
- The durable polymer handle is designed to withstand multiple autoclaving cycles, ensuring longevity and proper infection control
- Designed for control:
- The handle and tip design allow the user to easily maintain control during instrumentation with less pressure required
