Gracey design is the standard of care for complete pocket coverage deeper than 4 mm. More recently, 50% shorter working blades and a 3mm extended shank (called Gracey Access) have gained popularity for periodontally involved cases. We have taken the Gracey Access design one step further and thinned the working blade to improve root concavity and furcation access beyond 4 mm.
The complexity of a shorter working end makes it difficult to sharpen in stainless steel. With XP Technology’s reduced wear rate, the Gracey Access Pro Thin design will retain the original 70-degree edge angulation for consistent periodontal instrumentation.
The Gracey Access 16 Pro Thin Quik-Tip is a wonderful advancement on the traditional 11-12. The 15-16 shank design improves angulation for better access in all posterior mesial, buccal, and lingual areas. This eases hand position and reduces operator fatigue.
