Description
Hu-Friedy Cogswell A and Cogswell B elevators are surgical elevators used to loosen teeth or root fragments from the periodontal ligament and ease extraction. They are versatile instruments commonly used across a wide range of extraction procedures and are especially popular for third molar extractions.
The two patterns provide different access options while sharing the same core function and feel.
Clinical use
Routine and surgical extractions
Upper and lower third molar extractions
Loosening teeth from the periodontal ligament
Controlled luxation prior to forceps application
Design overview
Cogswell elevators are designed to deliver controlled leverage with good tactile feedback. The straight and angled-up configurations allow the clinician to adapt approach based on anatomy, tooth position, and access requirements.
Available patterns
Cogswell A Elevator Straight pattern designed for direct access and controlled luxation across a wide range of extraction scenarios.
Cogswell B Elevator Angled-up pattern that improves access and leverage, particularly useful in posterior anatomy and third molar extractions. This is the more commonly selected pattern due to its versatility.
Key features
Straight (A) and angled-up (B) access options
Suitable for all types of extractions
Particularly effective for third molars
Designed to loosen teeth and ease extraction
Surgical-grade stainless steel construction
