ROOT ELEVATORS NES-857

Fig. 1
Upper root extractions present a specific set of challenges: limited downward visibility, proximity to the maxillary sinus in posterior regions, and root morphology that often requires controlled apical force from a particular angle. The NES-857 is a Kopp elevator with a 3.6 mm working blade, built for exactly this clinical environment. The Kopp pattern has a long-standing place in oral surgery specifically because its blade geometry is suited to the angulation demands of the maxillary arch, where standard straight elevators can struggle to establish proper working position.
Among the surgical root elevators in the NextEdge Surgical catalog, the NES-857 stands out for its arch-specific focus. The 3.6 mm blade width offers slightly more root surface contact than narrower tips, which improves the clinician’s ability to transmit apical force evenly during the elevation stroke. This is particularly useful when working with upper premolars or single-rooted anteriors, where the goal is progressive periodontal ligament disruption without overloading the fragile labial plate.
The added blade width also helps when navigating around partially erupted or tilted upper teeth, where a narrower tip may not seat securely enough to deliver consistent leverage. The Kopp pattern’s geometry keeps the working end positioned predictably against the root surface, reducing the chance of slippage during controlled luxation.
Manufactured from German stainless steel, the NES-857 handles repeated autoclave sterilization without corrosion or dimensional change at the blade. It is a reusable instrument built for high-volume clinical environments, from private oral surgery suites to hospital dental departments.
Any surgeon working regularly with upper roots should have a dedicated instrument for this indication. The NES-857 fills that role reliably. Order yours today.
