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.
Is #51 the same as a straight root forceps?
No — the bayonet offset specifically improves reach in posterior areas where straight root forceps struggle.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel, heat-treated for hardness and long service life, and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
Often kept alongside root elevators for cases where a posterior root fractures during extraction.
