ROOT ELEVATORS NES-747

Fig. H5
The NES-747 is a Hourigan elevator with a serrated working surface, pairing a design built for fine root work with a texture that improves grip the moment things get slippery. The Hourigan pattern is generally associated with smaller, more delicate root tip retrieval, and adding serration to that already-precise tip gives the clinician one more layer of control when a fragment doesn’t want to cooperate.
Fine root work rewards stability more than force. A narrow elevator tip working near a small or partially resorbed root fragment needs to stay exactly where it’s placed, and a smooth surface under those conditions can slip at the worst possible moment, right as pressure builds. The serrated finish on the NES-747 resists that slippage, letting the operator apply steady, incremental pressure instead of repeatedly repositioning the tip. That kind of dependability is why serrated variants remain popular within a full range of dental root elevator designs built for precision extraction work.
Situations where the NES-747 fits naturally:
Fine retrieval of small or partially resorbed root fragments
Cases where a fragment has resisted an initial smooth-tip attempt
Delicate work in confined or narrow socket spaces
Procedures where field moisture makes tip purchase difficult
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the NES-747 keeps its serrated detail intact through repeated autoclave cycles, preserving the exact grip the instrument was designed to provide. Fine work calls for fine tools, and this is one built with that principle in mind.
