Hu-Friedy Winter 11 / 12 / 14 Cross-Bar Handle Elevators

Hu-Friedy Winter Cross-Bar Elevators are surgical elevators used to loosen teeth or root fragments from the periodontal ligament and ease extraction. Each pattern is offered as a paired left and right set, providing complementary access and ergonomics during elevation of tooth segments and third molars. These instruments are designed with cross-bar handles that enhance grip and control during force application, especially in posterior anatomy.

Clinical use

• Loosening teeth from the periodontal ligament

• Elevation of tooth segments and third molars

• Controlled luxation prior to forceps application

Design overview

Winter Cross-Bar Elevators integrate a cross-bar handle with working ends optimized for leverage and stability. The left and right patterns allow clinicians to apply controlled force from opposing orientations without compromising hand positioning.

Available patterns

• E11LX & E11RX Winter Cross-Bar Elevators
  Smaller cryer-style tips designed for controlled engagement and luxation of tooth segments or third molars.

• E12LX & E12RX Winter Cross-Bar Elevators
  Cryer-style tips with a 15 mm wide working end at approximately 75° angle, suited for larger tooth segments and robust luxation.

• E14LX & E14RX Winter Cross-Bar Elevators
  Woodward-style working ends with 4.2 mm wide tips, providing alternate access and leverage for extraction of tooth segments or third molars.

Each left/right pair is recommended to maximize access from opposing directions during extraction.

Key features

• Complementary left/right paired patterns

• Cross-bar handle for improved grip and torque control
