A compact diamond prep bit engineered for precise cuticle separation and detailed refinement across multiple prep stages. The Laurel Medium is a high-control, versatile prep tool, designed to both lift the cuticle and refine difficult areas - making it ideal for technicians who want precision and flexibility within their prep routine. Often described as a “mini Anastasia”, its smaller sciver-style shape allows for enhanced access and control, particularly in tighter zones. PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS Grit Level: Medium Function: Cuticle prep / lifting / refinement of hard to reach areas Stage of Use: Prep (Step 1) Shape: Mini Sciver Head Size: 3.5mm length - 1mm circumference Material: Diamond Coated Tungsten Steel (Dentistry grade) Rotation: Suitable for left & right-handed use Shaft Size: 3/32" universal fit Recommended Speed: 9,000 – 11,000 RPM Pressure: Very light, controlled Lifespan: Approx. 2–3 months WHAT IT DOES Designed for precision-led prep, The Laurel allows you to work accurately in both initial and finishing stages. Assists in separating the cuticle from the nail plate with control Assists in lifting the proximal nail fold cleanly Reaches into tight side walls and smaller nail plates Refines residual cuticle and difficult areas at the end of prep Removes dead protein and non-living tissue effectively COATING / FINISH Diamond Abrasive Finish – Controlled, Gentle Exfoliation Designed to gently exfoliate non-living tissue without cutting Provides controlled abrasion for safe prep work Dentistry grade finish Maintains consistent performance across services Unlike carbide bits, this is not designed to remove product — It is designed to lift, clean and prepare. HOW TO USE Use at the start of your service (prep stage) Work at 9,000–11,000 RPM Use very light touch - no pushing or pressure Gently guide around the cuticle area and side walls in the direction thats relevant to your rotations Do not use it on the nail plate.
