The pod miniature scaler has been designed to access where larger scaler blades will not fit. It is particularly useful in removing debris and staining from developmental grooves.

The pod veterinary scaler has two different shaped ends, a curved sickle scaler and a flat scaler. The curved sickle scaler has a cutting blade at the top on each side and it requires care not to damage soft tissue. The curved end is specifically designed to remove deposits from interproximal spaces. The miniature scaler is excellent for removing deposits in overlapping areas, tight spaces and along the developmental grooves. The flat scaler end is excellent for the broad supragingival buccal and lingual surfaces of teeth. Position the scaler so that 1/3rd of the blade is positioned under the deposit. Adjust position so that the blade is at an angle of approximately 85 degrees to the tooth surface. Apply lateral pressure and firmly pull the instrument upwards to dislodge deposits. Take care not to damage soft tissue as the scaler has blades on both sides. The dual bladed sides allow the instrument to be used on both mesial and distal aspects of the tooth.
