Apical Straight Elevator 2mm - Gold-Tone Tip
This straight elevator is designed for the luxation and controlled mobilisation of tooth roots and retained root tips during surgical extractions. The working shank is ground to a blade that engages between the root surface and the alveolar crest, allowing a wheel-and-axle motion to disrupt periodontal ligament fibres and widen the socket wall. Crafted by Equate Instruments from surgical-grade stainless steel and polished for repeat autoclave cycles, this elevator is part of a straight elevator set used alongside forceps during routine and complex surgical extractions. The stainless-steel handle is profiled to seat securely in a palm grip and resist rotation under thumb pressure during controlled leveraging. Supplied non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Questions about apical straight elevators
What is a Apical Straight Elevator used for?
A dental elevator is a hand instrument that loosens a tooth or root in its socket before extraction. Its blade is worked into the space between root and bone, and gentle rotation or leverage widens the socket. Luxators are thinner elevators that cut the periodontal ligament. Periosteal elevators are different instruments that lift the gum and periosteum from bone.
What is the difference between an elevator and a luxator?
An elevator loosens the tooth by wedging and rotation. A luxator has a thinner, sharper blade that cuts the periodontal ligament as it's pushed along the root, and it shouldn't be used to lever.
Why do Cryer elevators come in pairs?
Their triangular blades point in opposite directions, so the right and left versions reach roots on either side of the mouth or on either side of an empty root socket.

Serrated Apical Elevator 4mm - Stainless Steel Handle
This serrated apical elevator is a slim, single-ended luxating instrument for elevating retained root fragments and fractured apical tips. The fine stainless-steel working tip is machined with transverse serrations so it bites into sclerotic dentine and gutta-percha, letting the surgeon transmit controlled rotational force without the tip skating out of the socket. The solid stainless-steel teardrop handle is polished for easy decontamination and weighted for balanced pen-grip control. Equate Instruments supplies the elevator non-sterile for in-clinic sterilisation; the instrument is fully autoclavable and retains its edge across repeated cycles.
