The R7S is a single-ended sickle scaler with a 12 mm-long, 1.5 mm-wide pointed blade carried by an angled terminal shank. This shank-and-blade arrangement distinguishes it from compact, straighter anterior patterns and offers a different approach to accessible supragingival calculus.
The stainless steel working end is fitted to a diamond-knurled handle. With a 5.9 in (15 cm) overall length, the R7S can be steam-autoclaved and reused for routine hygiene procedures.
The angled terminal shank and 12 mm blade distinguish R7S from shorter-bladed patterns such as Whiteside WH2 (6 mm). The BX has a different curved blade profile and a narrower working width.
