NES-1807

11/12/2026Isn’t Gracey just a curette pattern? In periodontal curettes, yes — but the same name also applies to a gingivectomy knife blade, and that’s the second pattern paired with Crane-Kaplan on the NES-1807. Two different instrument families, same historical naming convention, easy to mix up if you’re not looking closely at the blade shape.
The Crane-Kaplan end handles the fine, interdental trimming gingivectomy procedures demand, narrow enough to work between adjacent teeth without catching on papillae or nicking a neighboring surface. The Gracey knife end brings a different cutting angle suited to specific gingival contours, marked 11/12 in the broader gingivectomy knife lineup to indicate its position among related blade patterns.
A quick rundown of what’s included:
Two distinct gingivectomy blade patterns on one handle, reducing instrument changes mid-procedure
Hollow handle in Ø 8mm for a lighter, more controlled grip during precision tissue work
Sharp cutting edges that double as a functional diagnostic instrument for assessing tissue texture before cutting
Forged surgical stainless steel construction, no weak seams
Rated for standard autoclave sterilization without dulling prematurely
For periodontists who already stock the Crane-Kaplan pattern and want to expand into more specific gingival contouring work, this combination adds a second blade geometry without requiring an entirely separate instrument purchase. A practical addition to a gingivectomy kit built around proven, long-standing blade designs.
