To help reduce trauma during extraction procedures, Ash Instruments has introduced a range of luxation instruments.

These instruments have a much more finely tapered tip and are a combination of the characteristics of a periotome and an elevator.

This combination allows their sharp tip to cut the periodontal ligament more efficiently, whilst the tapering shaft assists with controlled expansion of the bony socket.

One of the benefits many practitionerscould experience from using the instruments is that a large proportion of extractions become 'totally forceps free' and this can be especially valuable for younger patients as part of an orthodontic programme.

Ash Luxation Instruments may also ensure better results, with less trauma to the site of extraction.

The Ash Luxation kit comprises of four Luxation instruments, a straight and curved blade in two different widths; a Ceramicolor Heidebrink Apical Elevator, a sharpening stone and finally a honing rod to keep the instruments in good condition.
