Key Features for Micro-Level Precision

• Ultra-Sharp Precision Tip: Specifically honed for the accurate penetration and separation of fine soft tissue and periodontal attachments.
• Compact No. 304 Configuration: Scaled for detailed work, making it the ideal choice for small animal dentistry and pediatric oral surgery.
• Slim-Profile Shaft: A tapered, slender neck ensures maximum visibility and deep access into tight interproximal spaces.
• Ergonomic Secure Grip: Designed with a textured handle for a stable "pencil-grip" or "palm-rest," allowing for granular control of leverage.
• Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel: High-durability construction that maintains its sharp edge and resists corrosion through repeated autoclave cycles.

Product Overview: Engineered for Delicate Maneuvers

The Small Surgical Elevator No. 304 is an essential tool for practitioners who prioritize atraumatic surgical outcomes. In procedures where standard elevators are too cumbersome, the 304 model excels, allowing for the gentle loosening of roots and the clean reflection of small gingival flaps.

The primary advantage of the No. 304 design is its tactile responsiveness. The lightweight, balanced structure allows the surgeon to feel the subtle resistance of the tissue, significantly reducing the risk of accidental alveolar bone fractures or root breakage. Whether you are navigating the posterior region of a feline patient or performing a delicate biopsy, this elevator provides the stability and sharpness needed for clean, fast-healing incisions.

Forged from premium stainless steel, this instrument is built to withstand the rigors of specialty practice. It maintains its structural integrity and precision-milled edge even after frequent exposure to high-heat sterilization, making it a dependable, long-term investment for your surgical suite.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How does the No. 304 differ from standard elevators?

A: The 304 is significantly smaller and sharper, designed specifically for delicate "finesse" work rather than the heavy-duty lifting performed by larger Luxators or Coupland elevators.

Q: Is this elevator suitable for feline dental extractions?

A: Absolutely. It is a favorite among veterinary dental specialists for its ability to safely navigate the extremely narrow periodontal spaces of cats and small exotics.

Q: Can the tip be resharpened?

A: Yes. While made of hardened stainless steel to hold an edge, it can be professionally honed or sharpened with a fine stone to maintain peak performance.

Q: Is it safe for use in pediatric dentistry?

A: Yes, its compact size and precision tip make it highly effective for working in the smaller dental arches of pediatric patients.
