The Quinelato Potts Elevator Left is a left-oriented elevator whose fine blade releases the periodontal attachment so teeth and roots can be lifted from the socket. The working end is angled for posterior access on the left side of the arch.
Key Features
Left-oriented working end — angled so the blade meets left-side posterior teeth squarely
Fine working blade — sized to start in the periodontal ligament space
Mechanical advantage at the grip — hand movement is converted into elevating force at the working tip
Upper third molar reach — the angulation carries the tip to maxillary third molar sites
Surgical stainless steel construction — corrosion resistant and reusable through repeated sterilization cycles
