Hu-Friedy Warwick-James Elevators

Hu-Friedy Warwick James elevators are surgical elevators used to loosen teeth or root fragments from the periodontal ligament and ease extraction through controlled luxation. This family includes a straight option and a commonly paired left and right set designed to improve access and ergonomics in posterior anatomy.

All Warwick James elevators feature flat, smooth working tips and are manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel.

Clinical use

• Loosening teeth from the periodontal ligament

• Controlled luxation prior to forceps application

• Posterior extractions requiring angled access

Design overview

Warwick James elevators are characterized by short, smooth, flat working ends that provide stable engagement without point loading. The angled left and right patterns allow efficient leverage from opposing directions while maintaining a consistent hand position.
