Molt Elevator #9

Description

The Molt Elevator #9 is a dental device that is particularly intended to separate and elevate tissue during surgery. Here’s an overview of its main features:

Purpose:

• Dentists and oral surgeons use it to raise the periosteum, the membrane that surrounds the jawbone.
• Reflects (folds back) and retracts (holds away) soft tissue, allowing access to the bone.

Design:

• Typically built of high-quality stainless steel for durability and sterilization.
• Available in a variety of styles, #9 most likely refers to a particular size and form.
• A double-ended device with a sharp, pointed tip might begin the treatment by piercing the tissue.
• A somewhat larger, rounded end allows for continuing elevation while minimizing ripping.
• Both ends may have a modest bend for easier access.

Applications:

• Frequently used in oral surgical treatments.
• Veterinary professionals may also utilize it for dental treatments on animals such as dogs.
