ROOT ELEVATORS NES-1006

DE3
Two working edges on a single instrument are the practical advantage the NES-1006 brings to an extraction setup. This is a dual-edge straight elevator finished in grey, catalogued under item code DE3, offering a 3 mm working edge on one end and a 1.5 mm edge on the other. For clinicians who want versatility without cluttering the surgical tray, this is one of those dental root elevators worth having within reach during cases where root anatomy varies and quick blade changes would otherwise slow things down.
The 3 mm edge handles standard interproximal and general elevation tasks with a predictable, direct working face. Flip the instrument, and the 1.5 mm edge becomes available for narrower spaces, particularly useful around fine root tips, fragile or fractured roots, or anywhere a broader blade would create too much socket pressure. Having both dimensions on one handle removes the need to pick up a second instrument mid-procedure.
What sets this design apart in a practical sense:
Two straight blade widths on one instrument reduce tray crowding and instrument hand-offs during single-tooth extractions.
The 1.5 mm edge is precise enough for delicate apical work without requiring a dedicated micro-elevator.
The 3 mm side handles routine luxation with the same direct geometry as a standard straight blade.
Grey color coding keeps tray identification clean alongside other size-coded instruments.
Stainless steel construction survives repeated autoclave sterilization with no edge or finish degradation.
Efficiency-minded surgeons who prefer a lean tray setup will find the NES-1006 punches well above its footprint.
