NES-1806

The NES-1806 brings together two gingivectomy knife shapes that cover different parts of the same procedure: a Crane-Kaplan blade for tight interdental trimming, and a Goldman-Fox blade for shaping tissue along broader facial and lingual surfaces.
What each end contributes:
Crane-Kaplan tip — narrow and pointed, built to work between teeth without disturbing adjacent papillae
Goldman-Fox tip — a rounder cutting edge suited to longer contouring passes across open gingival surfaces
Shared blade sharpness and geometry between the two ends, so switching sides mid-procedure doesn’t change cutting feel
Hollow handle at Ø 8mm keeps the instrument light for extended surgical sessions
Sharp edges that also work as an ad hoc diagnostic instrument for gauging tissue firmness before an incision is made
Gingivectomy knives like this one exist because tissue removal around teeth is rarely uniform — some areas need a narrow, precise pass, others benefit from a broader, more confident cut. Rather than stopping mid-procedure to switch instruments entirely, the NES-1806 keeps both approaches accessible from the same grip.
Machined from surgical-grade stainless steel, it holds its edge through repeated surgical use and stands up to standard autoclave cycles without warping or dulling prematurely. Periodontists performing routine gingivectomy or gingivoplasty procedures, along with oral surgeons managing excess gingival tissue, will find this pairing covers most of what a single-visit contouring case requires without needing a third instrument on standby.
