2.5 MM Proximator, Curved Distal Elevator

Product Overview

The 2.5 MM Proximator, Curved Distal Elevator is a specialized dental extraction instrument developed for precision, control, and access during oral surgical procedures. Its slim working end is designed for use in restricted periodontal spaces, while the curved distal profile helps clinicians approach difficult-to-reach root surfaces from an appropriate angle.

Proximators combine features of periodontal ligament instruments and luxating elevators to assist in the controlled separation of periodontal ligament fibers. When used with an appropriate clinical technique, this instrument can help mobilize teeth and root fragments while reducing reliance on excessive levering forces.

Key Features

• 2.5 mm Working Tip: Narrow profile for access to confined periodontal spaces.
• Curved Distal Design: Helps provide access to distal root surfaces and posterior areas.
• Precision Working Edge: Designed to assist with controlled periodontal ligament separation.
• Controlled Instrument Handling: Supports accurate positioning and directional force during extraction.
• Bone-Conscious Extraction Support: Intended to help minimize unnecessary stress on surrounding structures when used correctly.
• Professional Dental Application: Suitable for trained dental professionals performing appropriate extraction procedures.

Applications

The 2.5 MM Proximator, Curved Distal Elevator may be used by qualified dental professionals for:

• Assisting with atraumatic tooth extraction.
• Releasing periodontal ligament fibers around tooth roots.
• Accessing distal root surfaces in selected clinical cases.
• Supporting the mobilization of retained or sectioned roots when clinically indicated.
• Assisting with extraction approaches where preservation of the alveolar socket is important.

Design and Function

The narrow working tip is intended to facilitate access to tight periodontal spaces, while the curved distal configuration helps the clinician position the instrument along selected root surfaces. The design supports controlled apical advancement and ligament separation as part of a properly planned extraction technique.

Instrument selection should be based on tooth anatomy, root position, access requirements, and the clinician’s preferred surgical approach.

Material and Maintenance

Confirm the instrument’s material, finish, and sterilization compatibility with the supplier before publication. If the instrument is supplied as a reusable, autoclavable model, follow the manufacturer’s validated cleaning, inspection, packaging, and sterilization instructions after every use.
