ROOT ELEVATORS NES-887

2 MM
Serrated tips are not a common sight on a straight Bein elevator, and clinicians who reach for the NES-887 usually do so because a smooth blade has slipped once too often on a stubborn root surface. The fine ridges cut into the working end grip the tooth structure the moment contact is made, giving the operator a firmer bite before any elevating force is applied. This matters most in the early phase of an extraction, when initial engagement determines how controlled the rest of the procedure will feel.
The 2 mm tip keeps the profile narrow enough for confined interproximal areas, so the instrument can be positioned along the root without disturbing neighboring structures. Among the root elevators in a straight Bein configuration, this serrated variant is typically chosen when a case involves a root surface that resists a standard smooth blade, including teeth with heavier calculus deposits or roots that have started to round at the margin.
Handling remains consistent with the standard Bein pattern, so clinicians already familiar with that design will not need to adjust their technique. What changes is the tactile feedback at first contact, which many surgeons find useful when working through a case that demands extra precision. The instrument is built from reusable surgical steel intended for repeated autoclave cycles, matching the sterilization workflow already in place in most clinical settings.
For practices that regularly encounter difficult root surfaces, having a serrated option on the tray removes one more variable from the procedure.
