- A double-ended Towner U15-Sickle N5 anterior scaler from the Relyant® series which combines two complementary sickle designs—one for broad, long-reach scaling and one for more moderate, precise work in anterior regions
Uses
- Comprehensive Anterior Scaling:
- Specifically designed for the removal of moderate-to-heavy supragingival calculus from the facial, lingual, and interproximal surfaces of front teeth
- Variable Reach Access:
- Used to reach both deep and standard-depth areas in the anterior segment using the specialized tip lengths
Features
- Towner U15 Tip:
- A large-size, long-reach sickle blade with a 1.0 mm width that tapers to a point
- Sickle N5 Tip:
- A moderate-size, medium-reach sickle blade with a 0.9 mm width, providing a slightly smaller profile for precision debridement
- Relyant® #6 Handle:
- A 10mm diameter, lightweight stainless steel handle with a segmented knurled grip for high tactile sensitivity and a satin finish to reduce glare
- Cryogenic Hardening:
- Crafted in the USA from high-carbon, surgical-grade stainless steel using a proprietary cryogenic hardening process that produces a dense micro-structure for superior edge retention
Benefits
- Free Lifetime Sharpening:
- As part of the Relyant® series, it includes unlimited free professional sharpening for the life of the instrument, eliminating in-office maintenance time
- Enhanced Precision:
- The combination of a 1.0mm and 0.9mm blade allows clinicians to transition between broader scaling and more delicate, tight contact areas without changing instruments
- Ergonomic Comfort:
- The lightweight handle and knurled grip reduce the finger pressure required for a secure grasp, helping to prevent hand fatigue and repetitive motion injuries
- Superior Durability:
- The specialized stainless steel alloy maintains its factory-sharp edge significantly longer than standard instruments, improving clinical efficiency
