ROOT ELEVATORS NES-994

The NES-994 carries the Winter pattern, identified with a right-side orientation and listed under item code NES-994. Clinicians familiar with this pattern recognize it by its T-bar cross handle, a design that sets it apart from straight-handled elevators still common in general practice. Rather than gripping the instrument like a pen, the operator holds the cross bar horizontally, which allows a controlled twisting action to be applied through the shank and into the root.
That twisting motion is the reason Winter elevators stay in surgical trays long after simpler designs get retired. When a mandibular molar has been sectioned, the remaining roots often sit tightly within their sockets, and a straight push does little to move them. The right-oriented working end of the NES-994 is positioned to reach these roots from the side best suited to a right-handed approach, letting the clinician direct rotational force precisely where it separates the periodontal ligament rather than where it risks fracturing adjacent bone.
Surgeons managing impacted third molars, retained roots, or multi-rooted teeth requiring sectioning will find the leverage advantage particularly useful in cases where straight elevators or standard dental root elevators fall short on torque. The instrument pairs naturally with its left-side counterpart for practices handling both approach directions in the same procedure.
For any practice performing routine mandibular extractions, the NES-994 covers a technique gap that straight-shank instruments cannot. Complete your extraction instrument set today.
