ROOT ELEVATORS NES-996

Fig. 775/2
Clinicians who work with Winter elevators quickly learn that blade size changes the instrument’s role significantly. The NES-996 is a Winter 1 R root elevator, a compact right-sided instrument built for cases where a smaller blade makes the difference between clean root engagement and unnecessary tissue disruption. The dental root elevators in the Winter series share the same cross-bar handle design, but the Winter 1 R is the narrower option, suited to tighter spaces and smaller root structures.
The cross-bar handle transfers rotational force efficiently without requiring awkward hand positioning. When working on the right side of the arch, that controlled rotation lets you work the blade into the periodontal ligament space with precision rather than relying on blunt leverage.
What the Winter 1 R brings to a surgical tray:
Compact triangular blade seats into narrower socket spaces where larger Winter blades would be too wide
Right-side orientation positions the working end correctly for mesial or distal root access on the lower right quadrant
Cross-bar handle keeps force close to the working site, improving tactile feedback during luxation
Useful for premolars, single-rooted teeth, and smaller molar roots following sectioning
German stainless steel construction withstands repeated autoclaving without degrading tip geometry
Having both the Winter 1 R and the larger Winter 12 R in the same tray gives a clinician coverage across the full range of posterior root sizes. The NES-996 handles the cases where a finer approach is needed, reducing the risk of overworking the socket and preserving surrounding bone for better post-extraction healing outcomes.
