Luxator® instrument
is a specially designed periodontal
ligament knife with a fine tapering blade
that compresses the alveolar, cuts the mem
brane and gently eases the tooth from its socket.
Luxator instruments were invented and designed by a dentist to make extractions as trauma free as possible. The whole operation is performed with the minimum of tissue damage.
