Hu-Friedy Woodward Elevators

Hu-Friedy Woodward Elevators are surgical elevators used to loosen teeth and root fragments from the periodontal ligament and ease extraction. The E15 and E16 are specifically designed for lower molar root removal, providing controlled luxation and predictable leverage in posterior anatomy.

Both instruments are manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and are offered as opposing patterns to improve access and ergonomics depending on quadrant and approach angle.

Clinical use

• Removal of lower molar roots

• Loosening teeth from the periodontal ligament

• Posterior extractions requiring controlled leverage

Available patterns

E15 Woodward Elevator
Used for lower molar root removal with a 4.1 mm wide tip, providing stable engagement and controlled luxation.

E16 Woodward Elevator
Same clinical indication and 4.1 mm tip width as the E15, with the opposite pattern to allow mirrored access and improved ergonomics.

Key features

• Designed for lower molar root removal

• 4.1 mm wide working tips

• Opposing E15 and E16 patterns for access flexibility

• Surgical-grade stainless steel construction
