FAQs
What is extraction forceps #185 used for?
It is used to remove retained or fractured lower roots, for example roots left behind after a crown has broken away during extraction.
What does the sandblasted finish do?
The forceps are processed with high-pressure bead-blasting to create a uniform matte surface. The whole instrument is sandblasted, including the beaks. 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 #185 part of the sandblasted Set of 10?
No. The Set of 10 does not include #185, so it is sold as a single instrument.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
