Frequently asked questions
What is a Gracey curette used for in veterinary dentistry?
Gracey curettes are used for subgingival scaling and root planing — removing plaque, calculus and debris from below the gumline. They are area-specific instruments with a curved blade designed to adapt to the root surface without traumatising surrounding tissue.
What is the difference between a large and small Gracey curette?
The large (#1-2 Large) Gracey curette has a wider blade suited to larger root surfaces in medium and large dogs. The small (#1-2 Small) version has a narrower blade designed for use in cats and small dogs.
Can Gracey curettes be used below the gumline?
Yes. The iM3 Sapphira Gracey Curettes are specifically designed for safe subgingival use, allowing precise plaque and calculus removal below the gumline with minimal tissue trauma.
Is the iM3 Sapphira Curette autoclavable?
Yes. The iM3 Sapphira Curette range is fully autoclavable to 134°C and constructed from high-quality stainless steel throughout.
Why does this instrument have a matte finish?
The matte finish eliminates the micro-reflections that can obstruct the surgical field under operatory lighting, improving visibility and reducing eye strain during intraoral work.
Attention: For Professional Veterinary Dental Use Only
- Instruments are supplied non-sterile.
- Clean, dry, sterilise, and inspect before first and each subsequent use.
- Clean and sterilise articulated instruments in the open position.
- Only use suitable cleaning agents.
- Sterilise using steam sterilisation for at least 5 minutes at a maximum of 134°C (273°F).
