Description

Engineered for the controlled extraction of mandibular root tips, deep fragments, and single-rooted anterior teeth, the premium Fig. 74 Adult Extraction Forceps are a foundational component of oral surgery and exodontia kits. Unlike molar forceps that feature broad, spaced beaks with bifurcated tips, the Fig. 74 design is structurally optimized for narrow, delicate root profiles. The beaks are oriented at a sharp right angle relative to the handles, allowing the clinician to navigate past the lip margins and achieve direct, vertical mechanical access into the mandibular arch while maintaining an entirely unobstructed line of sight.

The defining anatomical highlight of the Fig. 74 design is its ultra-narrow, parallel-closing beak architecture. Both the buccal and lingual beaks are exceptionally slender and completely smooth on their outer profiles, allowing them to slide seamlessly beneath the gingival margin and deep into the periodontal ligament (PDL) space. The inner surfaces of the tips feature a fine concave channel that terminates in parallel, meeting edges. This specialized geometry allows the beaks to securely clamp onto small, slippery root structures or fractured fragments deep within the alveolar socket, delivering a rigid, non-slip grip without crushing the fragile root walls.

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.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

• Classic Fig. 74 Anatomical Design: Engineered with a distinct right-angled shank configuration tailored specifically for mandibular roots, fragments, and narrow single-rooted teeth.
• Ultra-Narrow Parallel Beaks: Features slender, fine-tipped beaks that close tightly together, optimized for seizing small-diameter root tips deep inside the socket.
• Atraumatic Sub-Gingival Seating: Slender beak geometry allows for deep apical placement with minimal trauma to the surrounding marginal gingiva and alveolar bone.
• English-Pattern Textured Handles: Outfitted with wide, heavily knurled handles that provide an absolute, non-slip grip and exceptional manual leverage.
• High-Purity Surgical Steel: Forged from premium medical-grade stainless steel to completely resist rust, structural pitting, and chemical staining from harsh disinfectants.
• 100% Autoclavable: Fully engineered to repeatedly withstand high-temperature autoclave sterilization, thermal disinfection, and deep ultrasonic cleaning cycles.
