DG 16/17
Designed for practitioners who require refined tactile sensitivity across both restorative and endodontic procedures, the NES-1373 by Next Edge Surgical LLC represents a significant step forward in multi-functional probe design. This dual-ended diagnostic instrument unites the deep-reaching DG 16 pattern with the right-angled #17 explorer working tip, giving clinicians the power to evaluate complex root canal anatomy while simultaneously assessing anterior interproximal surfaces and deep subgingival margins.
The DG 16 end provides precise orientation toward canal orifices in the tooth chamber, while the compact #17 tip features a subtle 1mm bend ideal for detecting calculus deposits, margin gaps, and subtle enamel breakdowns in tight, hard-to-reach posterior and anterior spaces. Fabricated from medical-grade surgical stainless steel, the NES-1373 retains its tip integrity and tactile sensitivity even after rigorous ultrasonic cleaning and repeated autoclave sterilization.
Measuring 170mm in total length, the instrument is balanced to facilitate smooth rotations between thumb and forefinger.
Next Edge Surgical offers this model with three specialized handle options: lightweight 8mm and 9.5mm hollow handles designed to transmit subtle tactile vibrations directly to the practitioner’s fingertips, as well as a slim 6mm solid handle for clinicians who favor a heavier, traditional grip feel during intricate dental evaluations. With its dual functionality and premium build, the NES-1373 ensures reliable, long-lasting performance in any high-volume clinical environment.
