ROOT ELEVATORS NES-907

Fig. 2
he Bernard pattern brings its own take on the bayonet family, distinguished by an offset built specifically for right side access. Clinicians who alternate between left and right posterior sites typically keep a matched pair on the tray, and the NES-905 fills the right side half of that pairing. The offset shifts the blade relative to the handle so the operator’s hand and forearm stay clear of the cheek and opposing arch while working on right sided molars.
This instrument belongs to the bayonet category of surgical root elevators, a group defined by handle geometry rather than blade shape, since the working end still functions much like a standard elevator once positioned. What changes is the angle of approach, which lets the clinician maintain a more natural wrist and forearm position during posterior procedures that would otherwise require an uncomfortable reach.
Handling follows familiar elevator technique, relying on controlled rotational pressure to engage the root and initiate movement. The offset itself does not alter that mechanism, only the ease with which the operator can position the blade in the first place. Manufactured from reusable surgical steel and finished for repeated autoclave cycles, the NES-905 fits into standard sterilization protocols without requiring separate handling procedures.
Practices that see a steady volume of posterior extractions often keep both offset directions stocked to avoid awkward positioning chairside.
