Description
The Hu-Friedy Howard Single-Ended Root Tip Picks are strong, angled apical elevators designed for controlled removal of fractured root tips with minimal bone removal. The Howard pattern is selected when additional strength and leverage are required, particularly in posterior regions and areas of dense bone.
Each instrument features a chisel-style working end paired with a reinforced shank, allowing the clinician to apply controlled force without sacrificing stability. This design supports predictable elevation of root fragments when more delicate picks are insufficient.
The Howard series is available in directional configurations to improve access and ergonomics, reducing wrist strain and improving control during difficult extractions. These instruments are commonly used when visibility is limited and access angles are challenging.
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, Howard root tip picks are fully autoclavable and built for durability through repeated clinical use.
