The Quinelato Apexo Elevator #301 is a straight-bladed extraction elevator whose working end carries a serrated surface for grip on root structure. It is advanced into the periodontal ligament space to sever the attachment and lift teeth and roots out of the socket.
Key Features
Straight working blade — follows the long axis of the tooth for in-line seating in anterior and premolar sites
Serrated working surface — the textured face holds position on root structure while force is applied
Tapered blade profile — narrows toward the tip so the edge can be started in the ligament space
Wedge-and-lever action — the blade separates the ligament and lifts the root as it advances
Surgical stainless steel construction — corrosion resistant and reusable through repeated sterilization cycles
