NES-1694

Q: What’s the difference between this and other Towner-Jacquette combos on the shelf? A: The pairing. NES-1694 pairs the same Towner U15 blade with a Jacquette 33 tip instead of a 30, which changes the angle of approach on posterior surfaces without touching the anterior side of the instrument.
The Towner half stays exactly as reliable as it is on its own — straight, rigid, and built for cutting through supragingival calculus on facial and lingual surfaces where the operator has a clear line of sight. The Jacquette 33 end is where this instrument earns its keep: its blade angle is set up specifically for posterior interproximal areas, molars and premolars where contacts sit tighter and a slightly different curve reaches surfaces the U15/30 pairing sometimes misses.
Practical details:
Triangular blade cross-section on both ends for consistent cutting feel
Sharp, pointed tips that also work as a general diagnostic instrument for tactile surface checks
One-piece forged construction in surgical stainless steel
Rated for standard autoclave sterilization cycles without loss of edge sharpness
Balanced shank weight keeps wrist strain manageable through extended scaling appointments
Hygienists who work a lot of posterior quadrants tend to reach for the 33 pairing more often than the 30, since the geometry lines up better with how molars and premolars sit in the arch. A solid pick for practices building out a range of combination scalers rather than relying on one universal shape.
