Description
An Angled London Hospital Root Elevator (often referred to as the Coleman-London Hospital Pattern) is a specialized oral surgery instrument designed to mobilize deeply retained root fragments and luxate tightly wedged teeth.
The defining trait of the London Hospital pattern is its highly distinctive flat, cross-serrated handle coupled with an ultra-rigid shank. The angled working end features a sharp, tapered blade configured with one flat side facing the tooth root and one convex side facing the alveolar bone. This specific horizontal or axial bend allows the instrument to slide cleanly into hard-to-reach posterior socket zones and maxilla/mandible bifurcation regions.
