Cameron Elevator Bayonet with 1.2–7mm Tips for Dental Luxation

Cameron Elevator Bayonet (SKU: PS-964) is a German stainless steel dental elevator with an offset bayonet shank, broad fluted handle, and rounded working tip for controlled luxation, root elevation, periodontal ligament separation, and apical access during oral surgery. The available size variants are 1.2mm under model PS-964, 2mm under model PS-964, 3mm under model PS-964, 4mm under model PS-964, 5mm under model PS-964, 6mm under model PS-964, and 7mm under model PS-964, allowing the operator to match the working tip to incisor, premolar, molar, retained root, and posterior socket anatomy. It is used for closed extraction, open extraction, retained root retrieval, surgical exodontia, fractured root elevation, periodontal ligament release, flap-assisted tooth removal, and socket exploration before irrigation and closure. General dentists, oral surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, dental residents, and procurement officers use this instrument in dental clinics, oral surgery units, hospital dental departments, implant-extraction workflows, and teaching laboratories where posterior access and direct tactile control are required.

Bayonet Offset Shank with Rounded Elevator Tip Geometry

The bayonet design places the working tip away from the long axis of the handle, creating visual and mechanical clearance when the operator works around posterior teeth, distal root surfaces, lingual margins, and deep extraction sockets. This offset shank lets the hand remain outside the direct line of sight while the tip enters the periodontal ligament space at a controlled angle. The rounded blade end distributes pressure across cementum and alveolar bone instead of concentrating force at a sharp point, making it suitable for progressive luxation rather than cutting. The neck transition transfers fingertip pressure from the handle to the tip without excessive flex, while the broad fluted handle gives stable purchase under gloved fingers during rotational and apical movements. The flat handle profile supports controlled leverage when separating periodontal ligament fibers, expanding the socket, or elevating a retained root segment. The instrument works by seating the tip between root and socket wall, applying measured apical pressure, and rotating the wrist to create mobility before forceps delivery.

Posterior Root Elevation, Closed Extraction, and Open Exodontia

Clinical use begins after radiographic assessment, local anesthesia, gingival release, and extraction planning. In closed extraction, the 1.2mm and 2mm tips enter narrow periodontal ligament spaces around incisors, mandibular premolars, and small retained roots where broad elevators obstruct the access path. The 3mm and 4mm variants are selected for premolar and single-rooted tooth elevation after the sulcular attachment has been released. The 5mm size supports wider cervical access around canine teeth and larger premolar roots where controlled socket expansion is required before applying extraction forceps. The 6mm and 7mm tips are used for molar regions, broad root surfaces, and posterior sockets where a larger working end gives stable bone contact during staged luxation. During open extraction, the bayonet shank is useful after flap reflection and bone removal because the handle clears the cheek, opposing arch, and adjacent crowns. The same pattern supports fractured root retrieval, apical fragment elevation, and socket inspection before lavage, hemostasis, and mucoperiosteal closure.

1.2mm to 7mm Tip Selection for Incisor, Premolar, and Molar Sites

The 1.2mm size is selected for narrow incisor ligament spaces, small apical fragments, and delicate retained roots where a wider blade would wedge against thin alveolar bone. The 2mm tip gives slightly broader contact for mandibular incisors, small premolars, and early-stage luxation in tight interproximal spaces. The 3mm variant suits routine anterior and premolar work where the operator needs controlled entry between the cervical root surface and socket wall. The 4mm size is used for larger premolars and exposed roots after initial mobility has been created. The 5mm working end increases surface contact for canine roots and thicker socket walls, helping distribute pressure during controlled buccolingual movement. The 6mm option serves posterior premolar and molar access when a wider blade stabilizes against the alveolar crest. The 7mm variant is selected for broad molar socket work, larger adult dentition, and open extraction fields where the surgeon needs a stable elevator face during final root mobilization.

German Stainless Steel, Satin Finish, Autoclaving, and Class I Supply

German stainless steel construction provides the rigidity needed for controlled dental elevation, root luxation, and repeated sterilization turnover. The material resists corrosion during cleaning, ultrasonic processing, steam autoclaving, and routine storage in oral surgery trays. Satin, dull, and mirror-finished surfaces support clinical visibility and cleaning: reduced glare improves view around posterior sockets, while polished exposed zones allow blood, saliva, and debris to be removed before packaging. The Class I instrument profile fits a reusable manual dental elevator used for mechanical tooth movement without powered function. Autoclave compatibility supports tray cycling between extraction, oral surgery, and teaching cases after standard decontamination. CE marking, ISO 13485 certification, and FDA compliance support procurement documentation for dental clinics, hospitals, distributors, and institutional purchasing teams. The one-year warranty, return and replacement service, OEM availability, rust-free specification, carton-box packing, and one-piece MOQ support both single-instrument replacement and larger dental elevator tray standardization. This supply profile suits clinics managing routine extractions and surgical exodontia.

How does the Cameron Elevator Bayonet compare with a Coupland Elevator?
The Cameron Elevator Bayonet uses an offset bayonet shank for posterior access, while a Coupland Elevator has a straighter wedge pattern for stronger direct elevation in more open access fields. Coupland instruments are commonly selected when the operator needs broad wedging force along an accessible root surface. The bayonet pattern is stronger when the hand must clear the cheek, opposing arch, adjacent crowns, or distal molar anatomy. Its rounded tip supports controlled periodontal ligament separation and staged root mobilization. The Cameron Elevator Bayonet is therefore well suited to posterior sockets, retained root fragments, and areas where straight-line access is restricted. Both instruments belong in an extraction tray, but their shaft geometry changes the access path and leverage angle.

Which size should be selected from 1.2mm to 7mm?
The Cameron Elevator Bayonet in 1.2mm is selected for narrow incisor spaces, small apical fragments, and delicate retained roots. The 2mm size is used for mandibular incisors, small premolars, and tight periodontal ligament access. The 3mm and 4mm sizes support routine premolar and anterior root elevation after sulcular release. The 5mm tip is selected for canine teeth and larger premolar sockets where wider contact distributes pressure across the root surface. The 6mm and 7mm sizes are used for molar regions, broad posterior sockets, and open extraction fields where stable blade contact is required. Size selection follows tooth position, socket width, root diameter, and the stage of luxation.

How do CE, ISO 13485, and FDA compliance support dental procurement?
The Cameron Elevator Bayonet supports procurement programs that require documented sourcing for reusable dental instruments. CE marking supports international conformity records for regulated purchasing environments. ISO 13485 certification supports manufacturing control, inspection consistency, traceability, and quality-system documentation. FDA compliance language supports USA-facing procurement files where device sourcing and supplier details are reviewed. These credentials help clinics, hospitals, distributors, and institutional buyers standardize dental elevator trays. The one-year warranty, OEM availability, MOQ of one piece, and return and replacement service support repeat purchasing and distributor supply planning.

How is the bayonet shank controlled intraoperatively?
The bayonet shank is controlled by seating the rounded tip into the periodontal ligament space while the handle remains offset from the tooth axis. The surgeon stabilizes the broad fluted handle with fingertip pressure and advances the working end apically along the root surface. Controlled wrist rotation expands the socket and breaks ligament fibers without forcing the handle into adjacent teeth or soft tissue. In posterior extraction, this offset keeps the hand outside the visual corridor and improves access to distal and lingual surfaces. The Cameron Elevator Bayonet uses this control feature to reach confined areas before forceps application. The design supports staged luxation, root fragment elevation, and final socket inspection.

What role does this instrument serve in an oral surgery extraction tray?
The Cameron Elevator Bayonet serves as an access-focused dental elevator for extraction trays used in general dentistry, oral surgery, and hospital dental departments. It is placed with periosteal elevators, luxators, extraction forceps, root forceps, curettes, suction tips, mirrors, and needle holders. During closed extraction, it releases periodontal ligament fibers and begins tooth mobility before forceps delivery. During open extraction, it reaches exposed roots after flap reflection, bone removal, and sectioning. The Cameron Elevator Bayonet is especially useful when posterior access requires the handle to clear the cheek, opposing arch, and neighboring crowns. Its reusable stainless steel construction supports repeated clinical tray cycling.
