FAQs
What is extraction forceps #22 used for?
It is used for extracting lower (mandibular) molars on either side, using pointed beaks that fit the tooth's bifurcation.
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.
What's the difference between English pattern and other forceps patterns?
English pattern forceps have a visible hinge screw, giving extra leverage compared with some continental patterns.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
