Luxator P-series
A simple way to make routine extractions less traumatic for patient and clinician
When tooth extraction is necessary, clinicians crave tools that can do more to make the process as quick and easy as possible. But they also need tools that require less—that is, less force needed for extraction, less pressure applied to the patient, and less tissue damage.
Simple & Predictable Extractions
The Luxator P-series continues Directa’s goal of helping clinicians simply and predictably extract teeth without using traditional forceps. The periotomes offer the advantage of working with a penholder grip design for increased tactility, access, and precision. This allows clinicians to perform extractions less traumatically.
“Its superior grip resulted in greater control and leverage. I’m asking my assistants to make this part of our oral surgery setup more often,” said Nader Zanzi, DMD, who took part in the Dental Product Shopper evaluation of Luxator P-series instruments.
The blades of the Luxator P-series periotomes are thinner and sharper than the original Luxator, allowing the clinician to compress the alveolar bone and precisely cut the periodontal ligament axially before the final extraction is made with a forceps or elevator.
“The thinness of the Luxators is remarkable,” said DPS evaluator Dr. Stuart Zaller, while Dr. Elaine Gantz shared, “The sharpness of the blades and small size made them very easy to use.”
