NES-1569

Mesial root surfaces on molars curve away from the operator in a way that makes straight instrumentation nearly useless, which is why the 11/12 pattern exists in the first place. The NES-1569 delivers that pattern in a solid Ø 6mm handle running 170mm, built for clinicians who want the classic weighted grip rather than a lighter hollow-core alternative.
Pattern: 11/12, mesial surfaces of premolars and molars
Handle: solid stainless, Ø 6mm
Length: 170mm overall
Finish: high-polish, corrosion-resistant
The terminal shank on this pattern is angled to slip past the distal contour of the adjacent tooth and reach the mesial root face without forcing an awkward wrist position, something that matters most during long maintenance visits with several posterior sites to clear. Solid construction adds a bit of heft compared to hollow handles, and plenty of experienced hygienists say that extra mass actually improves control on stubborn subgingival deposits rather than working against them.
It ships as a single instrument, not bundled into a set, so it works well for topping off a tray missing its 11/12, arming a second treatment room, or replacing a curette sharpened past its useful life. Clinicians typically confirm mesial pocket depth with a diagnostic instrument before reaching for this curette, since that reading determines how the 11/12 needs to work the root surface. Next Edge Surgical finishes every NES-1569 to a consistent edge geometry, batch after batch.
