NES-1396

Ever tried tracking a shallow subgingival groove with a probe that’s just too thick or too straight? That’s the gap the NES-1396 Goldman-Fox pattern probe closes. Its double-ended design pairs a curved sickle tip with a straight pointed tip, giving clinicians two working angles on one handle instead of switching instruments mid-exam.
What makes it a dependable diagnostic instrument for daily practice:
Curved end reaches interproximal and subgingival areas that straight tips tend to skip over
Straight pointed end is ideal for occlusal fissures, pits, and restoration margins
Forged from corrosion-resistant surgical stainless steel for a long working life
Available with a hollow handle in Ø 8mm or Ø 9.5mm, or a solid handle at Ø 6mm
Balanced weight distribution keeps the wrist relaxed through back-to-back patient appointments
Handle surface stays grippy under gloves, even when wet with saliva or water spray
Dental schools have relied on the Goldman-Fox shape for decades because it bridges general screening and periodontal assessment in one tool, and the NES-1396 keeps that legacy intact with tighter tolerances and a sharper point profile. It autoclaves cleanly and holds its calibration through repeated sterilization cycles.
For hygienists running full-mouth exams or dentists doing quick spot checks between restorative procedures, this probe earns its place in the tray setup rather than sitting unused.
