11 Straight Bernard Elevator 3.6 mm, Anterior Syndesmotome and Periotome

11 Straight Bernard Elevator is a 3.6 mm concave-tip syndesmotome used to sever the periodontal ligament and elevate small anterior roots before extraction. The straight shank aligns directly with the long axis of anterior teeth, letting the concave tip insert along the root surface into the periodontal ligament space without the offset angle a posterior-pattern elevator would introduce. Acting as a periotome, the Bernard elevator loosens the tooth atraumatically before forceps are applied, reducing the force needed for extraction and helping preserve the surrounding alveolar bone. Single-ended, medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, autoclavable. Many clinicians reach for the 11 Straight first on every anterior extraction, using it as a routine ligament-severing step before any luxating elevator or forceps touches the tooth.
