Coupled Elevators
Free!
Coupled Elevators are paired dental instruments used to elevate and mobilize teeth or root fragments from both sides. Their angled and straight designs provide controlled leverage, reducing trauma during extraction. Made from durable stainless steel with precision tips, they offer excellent access and stability in surgical cases. Ideal for complex extractions and preserving bone integrity.
Description
Coupled Elevators are specialized dental extraction instruments designed to work in pairs, providing controlled leverage from opposite sides of the tooth or root. They are commonly used in surgical and complex extractions to elevate, luxate, and mobilize teeth with minimal trauma to surrounding tissue. Each instrument in the pair is crafted with complementary angulations, allowing practitioners to apply balanced pressure and safely dislodge roots, especially in multi-rooted teeth or broken fragments.
Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, coupled elevators are resistant to corrosion and built to withstand repeated sterilization. Their ergonomic, textured handles ensure a firm grip, enabling precise manipulation even under force. The thin, sharp tips are engineered to slide between the periodontal ligament space and bone, reducing the need for excessive force and preserving alveolar integrity.
Key features and benefits:
• Paired design for synchronized, controlled elevation
• Angled and straight variants for access to all quadrants
• Sharp, tapered tips for entry into tight spaces
• Strong, autoclavable stainless steel construction
• Reduced risk of root or bone fracture during extraction
• Enhanced tactile feedback for surgical precision
Common applications:
• Removal of fractured or impacted roots
• Elevation of multi-rooted teeth before forceps use
• Surgical extractions requiring bilateral support
• Sectioned molar tooth removal
Compared to single elevators, coupled elevators improve efficiency and reduce hand fatigue by distributing pressure evenly. They are especially valuable in complex oral surgery, helping maintain bone structure for future prosthetic or implant placement.
