Velmourne Collection
Ligament Knife & Luxators
Ligament knives and luxators for gentle separation of the periodontal ligament.
Ligament Knife & Luxators
Luxating before elevating cuts the periodontal ligament cleanly, reducing the force needed at the root and the risk of fracture that comes with it. Velmourne's luxators cover the full range of tip widths, plus dedicated patterns for rodent and rabbit dentistry, where root and socket geometry differ from cats and dogs.
Why Luxate Before You Elevate
- Cutting the ligament first means less rocking force is needed at the root
- Reduced force at the root lowers the risk of root fracture during extraction
- A full range of tip widths matches the ligament space of different teeth and species
- Double-ended rodent and rabbit patterns cover incisor and molar work with fewer instruments
Luxators and Sets
- Versatile Dental Luxators, All Sizes — the full tip-width range for general small animal work.
- Dental Luxators Set of 4 and Set of 8 — grouped ranges for building out a kit.
- Set of 4 Ring Luxators with Sterilisation Cassette and Set of 8 — supplied cassetted for organised sterilisation.
- Rodent/Rabbit Molar Luxators, Double Ended and Incisor Luxators, Double Ended — patterns specific to exotic and small mammal dentistry.
Tips are ground fine and checked for a true edge, since a luxator that doesn't cut cleanly just becomes a lever — and loses the whole point of using one.
