FAQs
What is a Warwick James elevator used for?
It luxates and elevates roots and root fragments during extraction, working into the periodontal ligament space to loosen the root before forceps are applied.
Why are there straight, left and right versions?
The three curves let you approach a socket from whichever side gives the best angle. Many clinicians keep all three, using the straight for direct access and the left and right for surfaces the straight cannot reach.
What material is this instrument made from?
The handle is corrosion-resistant AISI 304 stainless steel and the working end is hardened Japanese-standard J2 stainless steel, each chosen for its job: rust-resistant handling and a hard working end that keeps its shape through repeated autoclave cycles.
