4.5 MM Proximator, Curved Distal Elevator

Product Overview

The 4.5 MM Proximator, Curved Distal Elevator is a precision dental instrument developed to assist with atraumatic tooth extraction and related oral surgical procedures. Featuring a 4.5 mm working end and a curved distal design, it helps dental professionals access targeted areas around the tooth and apply controlled pressure during luxation.

Proximators are commonly used to help separate periodontal ligament attachments and mobilize teeth before extraction. The curved distal configuration can be particularly useful when working around posterior teeth or in areas where a straight instrument may offer limited access. Its design supports a deliberate approach to tooth mobilization while helping the practitioner maintain control during the procedure.

Key Features

• 4.5 mm Working End: Provides a defined working width for targeted dental applications.
• Curved Distal Design: Helps improve access to selected distal and posterior working areas.
• Precision Instrument Design: Supports controlled handling during periodontal ligament separation and tooth luxation.
• Professional Dental Application: Suitable for trained dental practitioners and oral surgery professionals.
• Ergonomic Handling: Intended to support stable instrument positioning and controlled manipulation.
• Reusable Instrument Option: Reuse is appropriate only if the specific instrument is designated reusable and processed according to its manufacturer’s instructions.

Applications

The 4.5 MM Proximator Curved Distal Elevator may be used by qualified dental professionals for:

• Assisting with periodontal ligament separation.
• Supporting controlled tooth luxation before extraction.
• Accessing selected distal areas during dental extraction procedures.
• Assisting with minimally traumatic extraction techniques when clinically appropriate.
• General oral surgical procedures for which the instrument’s design is suitable.

Design and Function

The curved distal working end is intended to facilitate access to areas that may be difficult to approach with a straight instrument. The 4.5 mm size identifies the specified working-end width, helping practitioners select an instrument appropriate to the clinical situation.

As with all dental elevators and proximators, proper technique, suitable instrument selection, and careful force application are essential. The instrument should be used only by appropriately trained professionals, following accepted clinical protocols and the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cleaning, Care and Sterilization

Clean, inspect, and sterilize the instrument according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions before each use, where applicable. Confirm compatibility with the recommended cleaning agents and sterilization method. Inspect the working end and overall instrument condition regularly, and remove any damaged instrument from service.
