elongator
Thing that extends
An elongator is something that lengthens or extends.
The term appears in scientific contexts for enzymes or protein complexes that extend molecular chains: The elongator complex is essential for certain cellular functions.
More generally, any tool or device designed to stretch or lengthen something might be called an elongator.
