GDC Root Elevator Coupland No.3 (E3C)

The GDC Root Elevators Coupland Standard E3c are crucial dental tools specifically designed for tooth extraction processes. They have a standard design that meets a wide range of extraction requirements. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, these elevators ensure longevity and are easy to maintain. They serve as levers during the tooth extraction process, enabling the gentle and effective removal of teeth from their sockets. The Coupland Standard elevators are a reliable option for dental practitioners, providing precision and dependability during tooth extraction procedures.
