Winter Elevator 12mm
The Winter elevator from Equate Instruments is a cross-bar surgical instrument designed for elevation and luxation of retained roots and fractured apical fragments. The flag-shaped working blade sits on an angled shank that aligns the working tip with the long axis of the root, loading torsional force through the handle to break periodontal attachment. The distinctive cross-bar handle is knurled centrally for grip and extends to smooth lateral balusters, giving the operator the mechanical advantage needed for controlled rotation in tight posterior sockets. The instrument is milled from high-grade stainless steel, is corrosion-resistant, and is fully autoclavable for daily reuse. Supplied non-sterile for in-office steam sterilisation.

What is a Root 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 2.5mm - Pink Silicone Handle
This serrated apical elevator is a slim, single-ended luxating instrument for elevating retained root fragments and fractured apical tips. The 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 bulbous silicone-sleeved handle is shaped for a pen-grip or palm-grip and uses a soft, non-slip coating that stays secure when wet. Equate Instruments supplies the elevator non-sterile for in-clinic sterilisation, and the stainless-steel shaft is fully autoclavable.
