Cryer Fig. 25 Root Elevator Anatomic Handle, Stainless Steel

When a root fractures at the furcation or leaves behind a stubborn fragment, dental practitioners need an elevator shaped for that exact angle of access. The Cryer root elevator answers that need with a pointed, triangular-cross-section tip that wedges into narrow spaces, so root fragments lift out with minimal bone trauma.

An Anatomic Handle That Reduces Fatigue
Its anatomically contoured handle also distributes pressure evenly across the palm, which reduces hand fatigue during longer procedures. Because Fig. 25 is a standard reference size in the Cryer left/right pair, practitioners often use it alongside its mirror-image counterpart for full-arch coverage, similar to how the Schmeckebier-Apexo Fig. 4 SA and Fig. 5 SA elevators complement each other.

Specifications

Clinical Applications

• Elevation of mesial and distal root fragments after crown or root fracture
• Removal of retained root tips following incomplete extraction
• Sectioned root removal during surgical extraction of multi-rooted teeth
• Preparatory luxation before third molar (wisdom tooth) extraction
• Interproximal root elevation in cases of periodontally compromised teeth

 Key Benefits

• The anatomic handle design reduces grip fatigue, especially during extended procedures
• Because it’s built from AISI 420 stainless steel, it resists corrosion across repeated autoclave cycles
• The pointed Cryer tip allows precise engagement in narrow interproximal spaces where broader elevators can’t reach
• Since it’s reusable, it supports long-term instrument cost efficiency versus disposable elevators
• It autoclaves reliably at standard 134°C cycles, so routine sterile reprocessing stays straightforward

Ideal For

General dental practices, oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics, dental teaching hospitals, and outpatient extraction suites.
