The Luxator 3 mm Curved is a precision dental instrument engineered for atraumatic extractions in hard-to-reach areas. Featuring a fine 3 mm curved blade, this instrument enables clinicians to gently sever periodontal ligament fibers with minimal tissue trauma, especially in posterior and tight anatomical spaces. Its ergonomic handle enhances control and reduces hand fatigue, while high-quality surgical stainless steel construction ensures durability and full autoclavability. Ideal for oral surgeons, periodontists, and implantologists, the Luxator 3 mm Curved delivers superior access, control, and patient outcomes.

Why Choose a Curved Blade Over a Straight Luxator?
- The curved blade improves reach into challenging posterior spaces that straight blades cannot access effectively.
- Provides better maneuverability with less force required in confined areas.
- Reduces soft tissue trauma while easing extraction of roots in difficult anatomical locations.
How to Use Luxator 3 mm Curved Safely
- Gently insert the curved tip into the periodontal ligament space.
- Apply controlled rocking or rotational motions to sever the ligament.
- Do not use it for prying or heavy elevation to avoid bending or damage.
- Clean and autoclave per standard protocols after each use for hygiene and instrument longevity.
Advantages vs. Limitations
Advantages:
- Minimizes trauma and preserves bone integrity for smoother healing.
- Enhanced access to hard-to-reach zones.
- Durable and cost-effective due to reusability.
Limitations:
- Not designed for leverage or forceful use.
- Requires careful handling to maintain blade sharpness and shape.
FAQs
Q: What does the 3 mm measurement signify?
It refers to the blade’s width—ideal for general and posterior extractions with curving access.
Q: Is the Luxator 3 mm Curved reusable and sterilizable?
Yes, it’s made of medical-grade stainless steel and is fully autoclavable.
Q: Can it replace a standard dental elevator?
No—this luxator is designed for cutting and luxating, not levering. Misuse can damage the instrument.
Q: When is the curved blade preferable to the straight version?
Curved blades are better suited for extracting teeth in posterior areas or confined spaces where straight blades don’t gain proper access.
