Root Elevator with Standard Handle

The Straight root elevator on the standard thumb-rest handle is made for luxating teeth and roots with the same working ends as the Bein series — straight #0 to #3, angled Special #60 to #62 and Gärtner — on the standard handle with thumb rest instead of the round Bein handle. Helmut Zepf makes it in 11 versions, all in Germany, and every one on this page ships from our US warehouse.
