FAQs
What is extraction forceps #33 used for?
It is used to remove fractured or retained lower root fragments left 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. 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.
How is a root forceps different from a standard extraction forceps?
Root forceps have narrower, more tapered beaks designed to grip small remaining root structure rather than a full tooth crown.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
