NES-1577

MTC 13/14
MTC 13/14. The label alone tells an experienced periodontist most of what they need to know: a mini-tapered curette, cut down from the standard 13/14 profile, meant for the distal surfaces of posterior teeth where a full-size blade sometimes just doesn’t fit.
The NES-1577 shrinks the working end without weakening it. The shank keeps the same angulation that lets a clinician reach distal root surfaces on molars and premolars, but the miniaturized blade opens up access in mouths with limited opening, crowded posterior segments, or patients where a standard-size curette catches on adjacent anatomy before it ever reaches the target surface. That makes it a common pickup in pediatric-adjacent general practice, orthodontic-related periodontal maintenance, and any case where standard instrumentation feels like it’s fighting the mouth rather than working with it.
Despite the smaller profile, the blade is still forged from surgical stainless steel and holds an edge through the same sharpening and autoclave cycles as full-size curettes in the Next Edge Surgical range. Clinicians typically pair it with a diagnostic instrument during initial charting, confirming there’s a treatable pocket on the distal surface before selecting this curette specifically for the access it offers. It ships as a standalone instrument, making it easy to add to an existing operatory tray without restocking an entire set.
