"Every single tooth I extract, I use the Proximator."
-Dr. Tony Craft, DDS

Key Features

• Karl Schumacher – the first and original Proximator®
• Combines Periotome precision with Luxating Elevator strength
• Perfect balance of sharpness and strength for atraumatic extractions
• Used at the start of any extraction for predictable results
• Vertical insertion into PDL space, parallel to root axis
• Severs periodontal ligament and expands alveolus laterally
• Eliminates traditional elevation, reducing rotational luxation
• Protects fragile buccal wall while creating a larger delivery path
• Razor-thin leading edge for roots broken down at or below gumline
• Available in Sharpened Spade designs, or 2.5mm and 5mm cutting edges
  
• Ergonomic design for proper directional force and minimal rotation
• Full control during apical progression, preserving socket integrity

The Proximator® by Karl Schumacher is the first and original instrument that revolutionized atraumatic extractions. By combining the razor-thin precision of the patented Periotome with the strength and familiarity of a Luxating Elevator, Karl Schumacher created a breakthrough solution that allows clinicians to perform atraumatic extractions faster and more predictably - minimizing unwanted forces on surrounding bone and protecting delicate hard and soft tissue.

Designed for use at the beginning of any extraction, the Proximator® is less technique-sensitive than traditional Periotomes, making it easier to master. Inserted vertically into the PDL space, parallel to the long axis of the root, it severs the periodontal ligament and expands the alveolus laterally toward the mesial or distal. This approach greatly reduces the need for traditional elevation and luxation with forceps, creating a larger path of delivery for the root structure while safeguarding the fragile buccal wall. Its sharp, thin leading edge aids insertion even when the root is broken down at or below the gumline.

Since its introduction, clinicians have consistently praised the Proximator® for its perfect combination of sharpness and strength, making it indispensable for challenging cases. The Sharpened Spade Proximator quickly defines a purchase point for engagement into the PDL and matches the tapered profile of roots. The Small Proximators are thin enough to slide down the PDL for roots yet strong enough to reach the apex when needed.

The Small Set of 4 Proximators® will allow you to access any area of the mouth, and includes the Small (2.5mm) Straight, Curved, Mesial and Distal. This Proximator® kit ensures you’ll have a selection of instruments chairside for everything from routine extractions to broken roots. 

Your colleagues consistently tell us the Proximator® solves challenging extractions problems without flaps or bone sectioning, saves time, and reduces stress during procedures – a true game-changer that outperforms other brands and copycat versions.

Add the Small Set of 4 Proximator® to your practice and experience unmatched control, reduced trauma, and superior patient outcomes.
