Sklar Merit Incisor Luxator, Double Ended, Rabbit
A double ended luxator designed specifically for extracting rabbit incisors, used by veterinary staff during exotic and small animal dental procedures.
The Sklar Merit Incisor Luxator is a veterinary dental instrument shaped specifically for use in the extraction of rabbit incisors, a procedure that requires a different approach from typical small animal or human dental extraction due to the unique anatomy of continuously growing rabbit teeth. Being double ended, the instrument offers two working tips on the same handle, allowing the veterinarian to loosen the periodontal attachment around the tooth from more than one angle before extraction, which helps reduce the risk of root fracture in these long, curved teeth.
This tool is used specifically by exotic animal and small mammal veterinarians managing dental disease in rabbits, a common presentation linked to malocclusion and overgrown incisors in this species. Because rabbit incisor extraction carries a higher risk of complication than many routine dental procedures, having a purpose built luxator supports a more controlled, careful technique.
Manufactured from stainless steel, the instrument withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation between patients. It is typically stocked in exotic animal veterinary dental kits alongside other small mammal dental instruments.
