- A premium, handheld oral surgery instrument expertly engineered to loosen teeth, sever the periodontal ligament, and elevate fractured root fragments, characterized by its right-angled angled tip
Uses
- Periodontal Ligament Disruption:
- Slides into the periodontal space to cut and separate the ligament fibers holding the tooth to the alveolar bone
- Tooth Luxation (Loosening):
- Leverages teeth within the socket to expand the alveolar bone walls prior to application of extraction forceps
- Fractured Root Elevation:
- Reaches deep into the socket to capture and dislodge fractured or retained root tips
- Periosteal Reflection:
- Used to lift soft tissues and the periosteal membrane away from the bone surface via pushing strokes
- Targeted Posterior Anatomy:
- Upper & Lower Molars: Optimized primarily for right-sided posterior root extractions in human oral surgery
- Veterinary Dentistry: Extensively used for extracting multi-rooted teeth in small animals and companion pets
Features
- Right-Angled Curved Tip:
- Designed with a sharp, tapered, right-facing blade that mirrors its opposite counterpart (the 4L) to give a precise point of leverage
- Downsized Blade Geometry:
- Features a thinner, smaller working end compared to the 1R, making it ideal for crowded arches or tight interproximal spaces
- Permanently Welded Handle:
- Constructed with a solid, seamless stainless steel handle that eliminates crevices, ensuring no plating peels, cracks, or harbors bio-burden
- Ergonomic Octagonal Grip:
- Features a structured, multi-sided handle architecture with a built-in thumb rest to optimize rotational control and tactile feedback
- Premium German Stainless Steel:
- Forged from high-grade, surgical stainless steel by Miltex to withstand extreme leverage pressure without bending
- Corrosion Resistant & Autoclavable:
- Fully compatible with high-temperature autoclave sterilization protocol for repeated clinical cycles
Benefits
- Trauma-Free Extractions:
- Its ultra-slim profile enables clinicians to disrupt the ligament without fracturing the delicate surrounding cortical bone or damaging adjacent teeth
- Slip-Free Rotational Leverage:
- The specialized handle texturing and thumb rest give the surgeon maximum mechanical advantage, preventing hand slipping during high-torque movement
- Surgical Field Visibility:
- Because the blade is angled off the main shank axis, the operator’s hand and the thick instrument handle remain completely clear of the direct line of sight
- Aseptic Longevity:
- Seamless handle welding ensures the tool can be safely processed through thermal disinfectors and autoclaves without retaining fluid or debris in joint channels
