The ProLux™ Luxating Elevator Spade is a specialized dental instrument designed to aid in tooth extractions, particularly when dealing with difficult cases like fractured roots or lack of coronal structure. Here's a breakdown of how it works:
Fine Point & Thin Profile: The fine point helps with sulcular retraction (retracting the gum tissue) and provides better access to the periodontal ligament (PDL) space, allowing for easier engagement with the tooth root. The thin profile enables precise navigation, especially in tight spaces.
Sharpened Edges: The sharpened edges help cut through the periodontal ligament quickly, allowing for efficient loosening of the tooth. It also facilitates lateral expansion of the alveolus (bone surrounding the tooth), which can make the extraction easier.
Advanced Root Access: In cases where the coronal part of the tooth is missing or the root has fractured beneath the gumline, the sharp tip allows the instrument to easily follow the root structure along its side, even when visibility or access is limited.
Creating a Purchase Point: The Luxating Elevator Spade is designed to help create a purchase point — a space from which further instruments like additional elevators or forceps can be used to extract the tooth. This is especially useful in complex extractions where traditional methods may not be as effective.
This tool is part of the ProLux™ Luxating Elevator series, which is designed to offer precise and controlled movements during extractions, minimizing the risk of damaging surrounding tissues. It’s particularly useful when dealing with challenging extractions, such as fractured roots or teeth without significant coronal structure.
Description: This Microsurgical Castroviejo Needle Holder is meticulously revised to enhance precision and functionality. It is designed for secure handling of smaller needles and accommodates suture diameters ranging from 5-0 to 9-0. The instrument features a unique locking mechanism that facilitates smooth finger rotation without applying excessive pressure, promoting more precise control of hand movements. The low locking forces help minimize hand tremor while grasping needles, ensuring accuracy during suturing.
Key Features:
Precision Design: Engineered for unmatched precision, allowing for a secure fit of smaller needles.
Suture Compatibility: Accommodates suture sizes ranging from 5-0 to 9-0, making it suitable for a variety of microsurgical applications.
Locking Mechanism: Equipped with a lock that allows for easy finger rotation, enhancing the execution of delicate finger and hand movements.
Reduced Hand Tremor: The low locking forces contribute to a steadier grip, minimizing tremors while grasping needles.
