ROOT ELEVATORS NES-1027

3 MM
A 3 mm curved tip with titanium coating puts the NES-1027 in a specific niche, cases that need both real leverage and the ability to follow a curved root path. This is a heavier instrument than the standard curved luxators, built for situations where a thinner blade would flex or lose its grip before the tooth gives way.
The titanium coating serves two purposes here. It hardens the working surface against the wear that comes from repeated contact with bone and enamel, and it gives the tip a slight color distinction that helps staff identify it quickly during setup. For clinicians handling molars with pronounced curvature or firmly anchored roots, that combination of size and surface treatment makes a real difference in how many passes a case takes.
Because of its width, this elevator tends to shine on posterior teeth where root mass is greater and a narrower blade simply can’t generate enough force without excessive pressure. It moves through autoclave cycles the same as the rest of a standard surgical tray, so there’s no special sterilization routine to plan around.
Anyone stocking a dental dental root elevators for their more demanding extraction cases will find the 3mm curved titanium tip earns its spot. It rounds out a set nicely when paired with narrower straight and curved options already on hand.
