NES-1397

The University of Michigan pattern is one of the most widely taught probe designs in dental education, and the NES-1397 brings that familiar geometry into a well-balanced instrument. Its double-ended tip combines a fine straight point with a gently angled point on the opposite side, letting clinicians navigate proximal contacts and narrow embrasures without repositioning their grip.
Because tactile sensitivity matters more here than almost anywhere else in a hygiene kit, the tip is ground to a consistent taper that transmits fine surface texture straight to the fingers, making it a trusted diagnostic instrument for spotting early demineralization, rough margins, and calculus that softer visual checks tend to overlook. The shaft itself is stiff enough to resist flexing under normal probing pressure, so readings stay accurate rather than exaggerated.
On the practical side, the NES-1397 ships in the same handle configurations as the rest of the range: a hollow handle in either Ø 8mm or Ø 9.5mm for a lighter feel, or a Ø 6mm solid handle for clinicians who prefer a firmer hold. Surgical stainless steel construction means it tolerates repeated autoclaving without corroding or losing its edge, and the satin surface stays comfortable through long clinical days.
It suits general dentists, periodontists, and dental students alike, and pairs naturally with scalers and curettes already on the tray.
