FAQs
What is extraction forceps #17 used for?
It is used for extracting upper right molars, with beaks shaped to grip the buccal and palatal roots.
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.
Is #17 different from the left-side forceps?
Yes, upper molar forceps are handed. #17 is shaped for the right side and #18 is the mirrored pattern for the left.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
