Hu-Friedy 13/14 Gracey Curette (SG13/146) - area-specific allows for deep scaling, root planing and periodontal debridement. Offset blade provides a perfect working angulation for the tooth surface. Offset blade angulation means only the lower cutting edge of each blade is used.
ADVANTAGES
- Insecure Working End
Imprecise fit may cause the working end to rotate when lateral pressure is applied during scaling or even fall out of the handle.
- Significance
Gaps or incomplete seal at junction may allow microleakage of bacteria, debris and contaminated ultrasonic cleaner detergent into handle.
SPECIFICATION
Cleaning
- If possible, an automatic procedure in a dental instrument washer unit should be used for cleaning of the instruments.
- A manual procedure – even in case of application of an ultrasonic bath – should only be used if an automatic procedure is not available or if such a method is not compatible with specific materials; in this case, the significantly lower efficiency of a manual procedure must be considered.
- All assembled instruments must be disassembled before reprocessing.
Maintenance
- Assemble disassembled instruments if necessary.
- Light corrosion on the surface can be removed with Hu-Friedy Penetrating Oil (IPS) or Shine reNEW (IMS-1453 or IMS-1455). If the corrosion cannot be completely eliminated, the instruments should be removed from use. Otherwise such corrosion could damage other instruments.
- After treating an instrument with Shine renew or IPS, the instrument must be cleaned and sterilized once more.
Sterilization
- Please use only the recommended sterilization procedures listed below.
- Other sterilization procedures are the responsibility of the user.
- Hu-Friedy recommends a minimum 30 minute dry time; however defer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the equipment used.
Storage
- Please store the instruments after sterilization in a dry and dust free place in the clean section of the instrument processing area. Sterilization can only be maintained, if the instruments remain packaged or wrapped - impermeable to micro-organisms - following validated standards.
- The status of the sterilization has to be clearly indicated on the wrapped packages or the containers. For safety reasons, keep sterile and non-sterile instruments strictly apart.
