Description

Engineered for the controlled extraction of permanent mandibular first and second molars, the premium Fig. 22 Adult Extraction Forceps are a fundamental component of oral surgery and exodontia kits. Specifically designed for the lower dental arch, the Fig. 22 features a pronounced right-angled beak orientation relative to the handles. This classic 90-degree geometry allows the clinician to navigate past the anterior dentition and lip margins, achieving direct vertical mechanical access into the deep posterior regions of the mandible while maintaining an entirely unobstructed line of sight.

The defining anatomical highlight of the Fig. 22 design is its symmetrical, broad concave beak architecture with internal micro-grooves. Both the buccal and lingual beaks close parallel to one another and feature rounded, un-pointed tips. This makes the Fig. 22 excellent for gripping lower molars that have intact crown structures or thick, solid necks. The smooth, hollowed inner walls of the beaks wrap cleanly around the convex surfaces of the tooth crown, establishing a wide, multi-point surface contact that distributes mechanical forces evenly and minimizes the risk of tooth fracture during smooth buccolingual luxation.

Forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel, these forceps feature traditional English-pattern handles with a heavy-duty knurled cross-hatch texture. This expansive grip surface distributes crushing forces evenly across the palm, maximizing manual torque and preventing slipping under wet operatory conditions. The robust, single-piece hinge joint ensures perfectly aligned beak closure, providing fluid kinetic feedback directly to the clinician’s fingertips.
