// Atraumatic Elevators

Xpanders™

Xpanders atraumatic elevators are designed to enable clinicians to avoid broken root tips in their practice. Invented by David Fyffe, DDS, these atraumatic elevators are designed to upgrade extractions, making the procedure faster and easier. They’re designed to help avoid the dreaded deep broken root tip mishaps. The Xpanders power comes from the double-action tips. Just a small amount of penetration into the PDL space is all that is needed for maximum lateral tooth movement. With these elevators, users achieve both bucco-lingual movement and mesio-distal movement. The more movement you can get prior to the use of forceps, the less likely root tips break off, the company says. Xpanders tips allow for a stable two-point contact between the crest of bone and the neck of the tooth.With simple twisting, one point locks onto the bone, while the other point pushes the tooth laterally, causing bucco-lingual socket expansion and superior pre-forceps loosening. These powerful intra-ligamental elevators are designed to make extractions less stressful.
