The Quinelato Gracey 13/14 Curette Mini is the mini-bladed distal instrument of the posterior segment, pairing a short mini blade with an extended terminal shank and an acute shank bend. It carries a single cutting edge behind the contact onto distal roots of premolars and molars inside deep, narrow pockets.
Key Features
Mini Blade — the short working end fits the confined distal spaces and root depressions that govern access behind the contact
Extended Terminal Shank — the lengthened terminal shank reaches the base of deep distal pockets while keeping the handle clear of the opposing arch
Acute Distal Angulation — the pronounced bend turns the mini blade back onto distal root faces, including the distal of the terminal molar
Single Active Cutting Edge — the offset blade directs lateral pressure onto the root during strokes made largely without direct vision
Corrosion-Resistant Textured Handle — a polished surgical steel body with knurled grip endures repeated autoclave cycles

What is left behind on the distal surfaces?
A mini blade on an acute extended shank is what makes those sites reliably accessible.
