FAQs
What is a bayonet forceps used for?
The offset bayonet shape lets the forceps reach upper root fragments in the posterior of the mouth without the handle obstructing access.
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 #51 the same as a straight root forceps?
No. The bayonet offset is designed to improve reach in posterior areas where straight root forceps can be awkward.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
