NES-1860

19/20
The NES-1860 carries the USC Towner blade pattern, a periodontal knife shape built less for tight interdental work and more for the broader, sweeping cuts needed along facial and lingual gingival surfaces during a gingivectomy.
What makes this pattern useful on a surgical tray:
Wider blade profile covers more tissue per pass than narrow interdental knives, speeding up longer contouring procedures
Angled cutting edge follows the natural curve of the gingival margin without repeated repositioning
Well suited to reshaping tissue architecture across several adjacent teeth in one continuous stroke
Sharp point doubles as a functional diagnostic instrument for checking tissue resistance before committing to an incision
Offered with a hollow handle at Ø 8mm or Ø 9.5mm, or a solid handle at Ø 6mm
The USC Towner shape traces back to techniques taught for broader periodontal surgery, where efficiency across larger tissue areas matters as much as fine control. It’s often paired on the same tray with a narrower interdental knife pattern, with the Towner blade handling the open surfaces and the finer blade cleaning up the spaces in between.
Forged from surgical-grade stainless steel, the NES-1860 resists corrosion and holds a sharp edge through repeated autoclave cycles. A solid choice for periodontists and oral surgeons managing gingivoplasty or gingivectomy cases that call for broader tissue removal rather than delicate spot trimming.
