Sklar Merit Molar Luxator, Double Ended, Rabbit
A double ended luxator designed for the extraction of rabbit molars, used by veterinary staff during exotic and small mammal dental procedures.
The Sklar Merit Molar Luxator is a veterinary dental instrument shaped specifically to assist in the extraction of rabbit molars, working to loosen the periodontal attachment around the tooth before it is removed. Being double ended, the instrument provides two working tips on a single handle, allowing the veterinarian to approach the tooth from different angles during the luxation process, which is an important step in reducing the force needed for extraction and lowering the risk of root fracture in these long, curved teeth.
Rabbit molars present particular challenges compared with extraction in other species due to their continuous growth and curved root anatomy, making a purpose built luxator a valuable tool for veterinarians managing dental disease in this species. This instrument is used specifically by exotic animal and small mammal veterinarians treating conditions such as malocclusion, root abscess and severe overgrowth in pet rabbits.
Manufactured from stainless steel, it withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation between patients. It is typically stocked in exotic animal veterinary dental kits alongside the matching incisor luxator and other small mammal dental instruments.
