Product overview
Straight elevators for loosening teeth and roots
A straight root elevator, also sold as a luxating elevator, is a dental hand instrument used to loosen a tooth or lift a root from its socket during extraction. It works by leverage, with the blade wedged between the root and the bone.
Buyers usually specify straight elevators by blade width and by pattern name, such as Coupland, Warwick James, Bein or Seldin. Iron Art supplies them in bulk and under your own brand. Send the pattern, blade width, drawing or sample and we will quote against it.
Loosening before forceps
Elevators are often used first to loosen the tooth before forceps are applied.
Roots and fragments
Also used to lift roots and to reach teeth that forceps cannot easily grip.
Blade width and length
Straight blades are commonly listed from about 2 mm to 5 mm wide.
Bulk, OEM and private label
Your logo, marking and packaging on approved specifications.

Pattern guide
Common straight elevator patterns
Buyers usually name the pattern in the purchase order. The table lists straight patterns that appear often in dental catalogues. Names can differ slightly between suppliers, so a drawing or sample is the safest reference.
What to send with your enquiry
These details let us quote without back and forth:
- Pattern name, drawing or sample
- Blade width, for example 2, 3, 4 or 5 mm
- Overall length and handle style, if you have a target
- Straight, or another pattern such as curved
- Material and finish
- Quantity for each size

Tip: if you already buy a straight elevator from another supplier, send a photo,
drawing or sample of it. That is the quickest way to confirm the pattern and blade width.

Applications
Where straight elevators are used
Dental clinics use straight elevators at different points in an extraction.
01 · LOOSENING
Before forceps
The blade is worked between the root and the bone to loosen the tooth before extraction forceps are used.
02 · ROOTS
Roots and fragments
Straight elevators can lift roots and fragments. Finer pick-type patterns are used for root tips.

Buyer FAQ
Straight root elevators: common questions
Short answers for buyers comparing elevator patterns and supply options.
What is a straight root elevator used for?
Dentists use elevators to loosen teeth before forceps are applied, to remove roots and root fragments, and to deal with teeth that forceps cannot easily reach. The right blade width and pattern depend on the tooth and the technique.
Is a root elevator the same as a luxator?
The two terms overlap, and some catalogues use them for the same instrument. Where they are separated, a luxator has a thinner, sharper blade that cuts the periodontal ligament, while an elevator relies more on leverage. State which one you need and send a drawing or sample if the difference matters.
How is a straight elevator different from Cryer and Apexo elevators?
A straight elevator has a plain blade used as a wedge. Cryer elevators have a triangular blade and come as a left and right pair. Apexo elevators are fine pick-type instruments for root tips and fragments. Each has its own page in our dental range.
What blade widths are common?
Straight luxating elevators are commonly listed with blade widths from about 2 mm to 5 mm. Tell us the width you need, or send a sample, and we will quote against it.
Which straight elevator patterns do buyers ask for?
Common names include Coupland, Warwick James, Bein and Seldin. Patterns with the same name can differ slightly between catalogues, so a drawing or sample is the safest reference.
What material are the elevators made from?
They are made from stainless steel. The exact grade and surface finish are agreed with each order, so state your requirement in the request.
Are straight root elevators reusable?
Metal elevators are normally reusable hand instruments that the dental practice cleans and sterilises between patients. The supply condition is stated in the quotation.
Can I order in bulk, OEM or private label?
Yes. We quote bulk quantities and can add your marking and packaging on approved specifications. OEM requests are reviewed against your approved sample or drawing.
What should I send to get a quotation?
Send the pattern name or a drawing, blade width, overall length, material, finish, quantity and your branding and packaging requirements. A photo or sample of the elevator you currently buy helps.
