Wing-Tipped Dental Elevators

Spectrum introduces surgical stainless steel elevators with winged tips that can be used in most extraction procedures.

Spectrum's Wing-Tipped Elevators are available in four sizes, 2mm, 3mm, 3.5mm and 4mm.

Winged-tipped elevators should not be used in a lever action like standard elevators because their primary function is to sever the ligament by sliding around the tooth's root, the company says.

Wing-tipped elevators should be used by applying a steady, gentle rotational pressure for 10-30 seconds to fatigue the periodontal ligament and cause hemorrhaging among the ligament's fibers.
