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.

• 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.
