ROOT ELEVATORS NES-878

2 MM
The NES-878 brings three specific design details together in a single instrument: a 2 mm blade width, a curved working end, and a serrated blade face. Each one changes how this elevator performs compared to a standard straight Bein, and the combination makes it useful in situations where a conventional elevator struggles to maintain purchase on the root surface. It is listed in the dental root elevator instruments range at NextEdge Surgical and serves a clinical role that narrower, smoother blades cannot fill as reliably.
The serrations on the blade face are the most clinically significant feature. When the elevator is rotated against the root surface, the serrated edge bites into the cementum rather than sliding off it. This improves tactile feedback and keeps the blade seated during the elevation stroke, which is particularly valuable when working with smooth or convex root surfaces where a plain blade tends to skate. The 2 mm width keeps the tip footprint minimal, making it suitable for tight interproximal spaces and narrow periodontal ligament channels.
The curved shaft completes the picture by improving approach angle in anterior and narrow posterior sites where a straight elevator cannot align properly with the root axis.
The NES-878 is well suited for:
Narrow root tips and retained root fragments requiring precise placement
Sites where blade slippage has been a problem with smooth-faced elevators
Anterior teeth with tight interproximal clearance
Curved root canals or roots where a straight instrument cannot follow the root axis
Atraumatic extraction preparation in cases requiring gradual incremental luxation
Manufactured from German stainless steel, the NES-878 holds its serrated edge and blade geometry through repeated autoclaving. Add it to your surgical tray today.
