The Luxator 3 mm – Straight – Small Handle is a precision instrument designed for delicate, atraumatic tooth and root loosening. Its thin straight blade allows access into the periodontal ligament space to help sever fibers with controlled, minimal-trauma movement. The straight profile is especially useful for anterior and interproximal areas where visibility, access, and tip control are important.
This discontinued small-handle version features a compact 8 cm handle with a longer 7 cm tip section, giving the instrument a shorter overall profile compared with the standard-handle version. For current ordering, clinicians should explore SKU 3752 – Luxator – Straight, 3 mm, which offers the same 3 mm straight luxating pattern in a standard handle design.
