FAQs
What is extraction forceps #1 used for?
It is used for extracting upper central incisors and canines, using a wide beak for a secure grip on the crown.
What does the sandblasted finish do?
The forceps are processed with high-pressure bead-blasting to create a uniform matte surface. Unlike a mirror-polished instrument, this matte finish minimises glare and reflection from the operating light. It is a surface finish on the steel itself, not a paint or coating.
Why choose the wide-beak version?
A wider beak gives more surface contact on larger anterior crowns, useful where a narrower forceps may slip.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
