ROOT ELEVATORS NES-1085

Every extraction has that first moment of resistance, and the NES-1085 Proximator is built specifically for it. This curved distal elevator, with its 2.5 mm working tip, slides into the periodontal space and gains initial purchase before you move to a forceps or a broader elevator. Among surgical root elevators, the proximator style stands out for how little force it actually needs to do its job well.
The curved blade follows the natural contour of the root, letting it seat against the distal surface without gouging surrounding bone.
A 2.5 mm tip width fits comfortably into narrow interproximal spaces on both anterior and posterior teeth.
The handle is sized for a light, controlled pinch grip rather than a full fist hold, matching the technique proximators call for.
Stainless steel construction resists pitting and corrosion through repeated sterilization cycles.
The instrument autoclaves cleanly alongside standard extraction sets.
Clinicians who use proximators regularly tend to reach for them first, before any forceps touches the tooth. That early, gentle mobilization often makes the rest of the extraction faster and less traumatic for the patient.
