Also called Heidbrink elevator · Tooth Elevator Set

An elongated shank ending in a very fine, sharply pointed pick, built to reach small fractured root fragments seated deeper in the socket than a standard pointed elevator tip can access.

A group of root elevators supplied together. Each elevator is one piece (handle, shank and working blade), with no joint and no lock. What separates one pattern from the next is blade geometry: a straight chisel-shaped blade, a curved or triangular blade made as a mirrored left-and-right pair, or a fine pointed pick. Handles are made round, octagonal, or as a crossbar set at right angles to the shank. Sets are catalogued small, as a three-piece straight-left-right group, and large, up to nine and eleven pieces mixing several patterns. Within a pattern the pieces are numbered by figure, and for chisel-bladed patterns the trade quotes blade width in millimetres.

Minimum order 200 instruments The minimum for dental instruments. Mixed orders are quoted against your list.

Lead time Instruments ~2-3 weeks · full sets ~4-6 weeks after advance.

This is the steel each line is made from as standard. A different origin can be supplied on request (a lower grade in Japanese steel, for example), agreed on your order.

Premium is the line where the choice is yours: 420 or 440C, agreed on your order. Economy is always 410 and Executive is always 440C. Those three are the instrument steels. Hollowware and sterilisation containers are made in AISI 202 on a Clinical order and AISI 304 on a Premium or Executive one, and they are not offered in the Economy line at all, which is the section above.

The five grades, side by side, and what each one is for

True of every order

Instruments are marked to the buyer's requirement (TGI, unmarked, or the buyer's own brand), agreed on the order.

Customised packaging is part of what TGI supplies. Your own printed boxes, your labels, your brand on the pack, or plain export packing, whichever your market needs. The packing for your order is agreed with you and confirmed on the order.

Manufactured under the quality management system covered by TGI's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certificates. Certificate numbers and the issuer's registry are on the certification page. Open the certificates

Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.

TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.

One-year guarantee on Premium and Executive tier instruments, hollowware and sterilisation containers: any technical manufacturing defect, including material faults and rust, is replaced free of charge. Damage from handling or accidents is not covered. The year runs from the day the goods leave Sialkot.

If something is wrong with a delivery (a manufacturing defect, or a short or wrong article), tell us on WhatsApp within 7 days of delivery, with a video and photographs of what arrived. Replacement instruments are sent free of charge and dispatched within 24 hours of us seeing them; you pay the shipping, and they reach you as a normal order does.

Damage that happened after the goods left Sialkot is a claim against your carrier. The video of your parcel at the shipping office is sent to you before shipment and is the evidence that claim needs.
