Root Tip Elevator, Angled Root Tip Pick, X-Tool Handle, Purple Metallic ID Ball | Helmut Zepf No. 17.068.10

The angled root tip pick elevator by Helmut Zepf is a precision-engineered instrument designed for the controlled retrieval of root tips and fine root fragments during surgical and routine extractions. Its double-angled shaft and finely curved working tip reach deep into the alveolus, engaging fractured root tips where straight instruments cannot.

Instrument Overview

The fine, angled pick tip is designed to slip between the root fragment and the alveolar wall, allowing controlled elevation with minimal pressure on surrounding bone. The ergonomic knurled X-Tool handle provides a secure, rotation-stable grip, while the purple metallic ID ball enables instant chair-side identification and streamlined instrument management.
