ROOT ELEVATORS NES-1005

L5C
Molar extractions put more demand on your instruments than almost anything else in routine oral surgery, and the NES-1005 is built with that in mind. This is a 5 mm curved blade root elevator finished in brown, catalogued under item code L5C, and rated for large molar roots and general use.
Among surgical root elevators designed for posterior teeth, the combination of a wide curved blade and a 5 mm working width puts this instrument in a category suited for the heavier, more complex end of everyday extractions.
The curved blade geometry is what separates this from a straight 5 mm design. Where a straight blade enters the socket directly, the curved working face follows the natural contour of larger molar root surfaces, maintaining better contact across the entire blade width during the luxation stroke. That broader contact area means more effective force distribution, which matters when you are working against the denser alveolar bone typically found around lower molars.
The NES-1005 earns its place on a molar extraction tray for several reasons:
The 5 mm blade width provides substantial root surface contact, reducing the number of blade repositions needed per case.
The curved tip follows molar root anatomy more naturally than a straight blade, improving control during apical elevation.
Brown color coding makes it easy to differentiate from narrower or straight-blade instruments at a glance.
Stainless steel construction holds up reliably through repeated autoclave sterilization without any loss of edge quality or handle integrity.
When a case calls for a bigger blade with better anatomical fit, this is the instrument that answers.
