Pattern #1 extraction forceps in a black finish, shaped for upper central and lateral incisors and canines. Wide, straight beaks meet the broad crown of an upper anterior tooth squarely, so the force you apply travels down the long axis of the tooth rather than into the crown. The matte black surface cuts reflection under the operating light, which many clinicians prefer during longer surgical lists.

FAQs
Which teeth are #1 forceps used for?
They are designed for upper central and lateral incisors and canines. Using the pattern matched to the tooth position gives a cleaner grip and reduces the risk of fracturing the crown during upper anterior extractions.
What is the black finish for?
The matte black surface reduces light reflection under the operating lamp, which lowers glare during longer procedures. It is a surface finish only; the instrument underneath is the same hardened stainless steel as our polished range.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel, heat-treated for hardness and long service life, and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
