NES-1897

85/86
What do you reach for when a socket is narrow yet still contains stubborn soft tissue? The NES-1897 85/86 Lucas curette pairs two complementary spoon sizes on one shaft so the operator can match the working end to the anatomy without leaving the field. The smaller end navigates tight anterior or single-rooted sites; the larger end handles moderate-volume debridement in premolar or smaller molar sockets.
Both ends are shaped for clean scooping rather than aggressive scraping, helping preserve the integrity of the bony walls while removing granulation tissue, cyst remnants, or residual periodontal fibers. The stainless-steel body withstands the full sterilization cycle and retains its form under normal clinical loads. Handle balance favors precise pressure control, which is essential when working close to the inferior alveolar canal or maxillary sinus floor.
Beyond active cleaning, the dual-ended design functions as a diagnostic instrument during the final check of the socket. Light strokes reveal whether the bone surface is smooth and free of soft tags before the site is closed or grafted. Next Edge Surgical LLC includes the NES-1897 in its surgical instrument range for clinicians who prefer versatile, paired working ends on a single reliable tool.
