Spade Luxator Left

The Spade Luxator Left is the mirror-pair to the Right version and is essential when working on the left side of the mandible. During lower-left molar extractions or root tip retrievals, the correct angulation allows the clinician to direct force properly into the PDL space without overextending the wrist or compromising instrument control.

The left-oriented spade blade inserts between the alveolar bone and the root surface, where a series of controlled push-and-twist movements progressively weaken the periodontal ligament attachment. Reducing ligament resistance before using elevators or forceps results in cleaner, less traumatic extractions with lower incidence of alveolar bone fracture and postoperative complications.

Clinical Indications: Left mandibular first and second molar extractions, mandibular left-side root tip retrieval, and any lower-left extraction requiring preliminary periodontal ligament loosening.

Material & Build: High-grade stainless steel with a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface finish. Ergonomic octagonal or round handle for controlled grip. Autoclave-sterilizable at 134°C (273°F).

Blade Specifications: Spade-shaped, left-angled blade tip, width approximately 3 mm, overall instrument length approximately 18–19 cm (7–7.5 inches).

Paired with the Spade Luxator Right, this instrument completes a bilateral luxation set for comprehensive mandibular molar extraction procedures. Recommended for oral surgeons, general dentists, and dental students learning surgical extraction techniques.
