The NES-987 is a Winter pattern root elevator built with a cross bar handle designed to give the operator additional rotational leverage during root elevation. This 11L configuration follows the classic T-handle Winter design, a pattern many clinicians reach for when standard straight or pattern elevators do not provide enough torque to move a stubborn or partially ankylosed root. Among our dental root elevators , the Winter series stands out for how the perpendicular handle transfers wrist rotation into consistent rotational force at the blade, rather than relying on wrist strength alone.
The cross bar handle allows the clinician to apply steady, controlled torque without overexerting the wrist during longer surgical cases. This is particularly useful when working on lower molar roots or fused root segments where a straight elevator handle would limit the amount of force that can be applied safely.
Clinically, this pattern is suited for:
- Elevation of roots that resist standard straight elevator technique
- Third molar and posterior surgical extractions requiring added torque
- Situations where controlled rotational force reduces the risk of root fracture
- Cases where wrist fatigue is a concern during extended procedures
Built from surgical grade stainless steel and finished for repeated autoclaving, the NES-987 holds up to routine sterilization cycles without compromising the working tip. For practices that regularly encounter difficult root elevation cases, this instrument fills a gap that straight elevators cannot always cover on their own.
