FAQs
What is extraction forceps #22 used for?
It is used to extract lower (mandibular) molars, on either the left or right side.
What's the difference between English pattern and other forceps patterns?
English pattern forceps have a visible hinge screw, giving extra leverage compared with American-pattern forceps.
What does the black PTFE coating do?
The black colour makes the forceps easy to pick out from standard steel instruments on the tray. PTFE gives a non-stick surface that reduces the adhesion of blood and tissue, making the forceps easier to clean. The PTFE coating is designed to withstand autoclave temperatures. The pattern is the same English #22 pattern as our standard steel forceps.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel with a black PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating.
