The Quinelato Seldin Elevator #1L is a left-oriented surgical elevator with a broad, flag-shaped working blade carried on an angled shank. It seats into the periodontal ligament space to luxate teeth and roots and to reflect soft tissue from the alveolar crest during exodontia.
Key Features
Left-oriented blade — the working end is angled to the left for direct seating in left-side posterior sites
Broad, flag-shaped working end — presents a wide contact surface against root structure and crestal bone
Angled shank — keeps the hand clear of the occlusal plane while the blade stays seated in the socket
Dual-purpose working edge — enters the periodontal ligament space and also reflects soft tissue from the alveolar crest
Surgical stainless steel construction — corrosion resistant and reusable through repeated sterilization cycles
