NES-1558

NES-1558 fills the 9/10 position in the Gracey lineup, the pair most clinicians reach for when working the lingual and facial aspects of posterior teeth during subgingival scaling. Sold as a single instrument rather than part of a boxed set, it’s built for practices that need to replace a worn piece, add a spare to a shared operatory, or outfit a new hygienist without buying an entire kit.
At a glance:
Pattern: Gracey 9/10, for posterior facial and lingual surfaces
Handle: hollow-core, Ø 9.5mm, 170mm overall length
Blade: single cutting edge, offset angle for subgingival access
Material: surgical stainless steel, autoclave-safe
The hollow handle trims down the overall weight of the instrument without sacrificing the grip diameter clinicians rely on for tactile feedback, so scaling motions stay controlled during longer root-planing sessions. Sharpened correctly, the blade holds its geometry through dozens of sterilization cycles before it needs reshaping. Hygiene programs often keep a 9/10 curette on the tray next to a calibrated diagnostic instrument used for pocket depth charting, so the transition from measurement to treatment happens without reaching for a different tray. Next Edge Surgical builds the NES-1558 to the same tolerances across every unit, so replacing one piece in an existing set doesn’t introduce a mismatch in feel or performance.
