Hu-Friedy Luxating Elevators Kit with Sharpening Stone (4-Piece)

The Hu-Friedy ELKIT is a complete 4-piece luxating elevator set designed to deliver exceptional control during atraumatic tooth extraction. Each instrument features slim, finely honed working ends that cut periodontal ligament fibers with precision, allowing the clinician to gently mobilize the tooth while preserving the surrounding bone. This is essential for modern surgical dentistry where ridge preservation, implant planning, and soft-tissue management depend on minimizing trauma.

Luxating elevators differ from standard elevators and periosteals—they are specialized cutting instruments engineered to ease roots and teeth from their sockets using controlled apical pressure and feathering motions. Their razor-sharp blades glide into the PDL space, helping surgeons avoid excessive force, root fracture, or buccal plate damage. For busy surgical practices focused on predictable extractions and implant-ready sites, a premium luxating kit is a critical part of the armamentarium.

The ELKIT includes four of Hu-Friedy’s most widely used luxating elevators, covering both straight and contra-angled variations, plus a dedicated sharpening stone to maintain cutting efficiency. Manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel with Hu-Friedy’s legendary craftsmanship, these instruments provide reliability, tactile feel, and longevity.

Kit Contents

• HF-EL3C 3mm Curved Tip

• HF-EL3S 3mm Straight Tip

• HF-EL5C 5mm Curved Tip

• HF-EL5S 5mm Straight Tip

• HF-SSLUX Sharpening Stone for Luxating Elevators

What Luxating Elevators Are Used For

• Cutting and severing the periodontal ligament

• Atraumatic tooth extraction

• Mobilizing roots prior to forceps delivery

• Preserving buccal and interproximal bone for implant dentistry

• Minimizing root fractures

• Facilitating sectioned molar removal

• Protecting soft tissue and minimizing surgical trauma

Why every surgical dental office must have them:
Luxating elevators reduce the amount of force required during extractions. Less force = less bone loss, fewer complications, and improved outcomes for grafting and implant placement. For any practice where implants, grafts, or ridge preservation are common, luxating elevators are indispensable.
