Engineered for the highly controlled extraction of permanent mandibular roots, deeply fractured fragments, and narrow anterior teeth, the premium Fig. 33A Extraction Forceps are a fundamental component of oral surgery and exodontia kits. Specifically designed for the lower dental arch, the Fig. 33A features a classic English-pattern right-angled beak orientation relative to the handles. This structural geometry allows the clinician to navigate past the lip margins, achieving direct vertical mechanical access into the mandibular socket while maintaining a completely unobstructed line of sight.

A key point of clarity regarding this product listing is its single-anatomy nature. In professional dental instrumentation, the Fig. 33A is a universal instrument, meaning it is not sold as a split “left/right” 2-piece kit. Because lower tooth roots are generally symmetrical or single-conical, a single Fig. 33A operates flawlessly across both the lower left and lower right quadrants of the mandible. Selling them as a “set of 2” simply provides the clinician with two identical universal instruments for consecutive back-to-back surgeries or efficient tray setups.

The defining anatomical highlight of the Fig. 33A design is its ultra-slender, parallel-closing micro-beaks. Both jaws close completely flat against one another at the very tips and feature an exceptionally thin profile. This specialized layout allows the instrument to slide smoothly past the gingival line and seat directly into the narrow periodontal ligament space. By gripping the residual root structure deep within the bone rather than relying on surface enamel, the clinician can apply firm axial pressure and secure leverage to elevate stubborn root tips cleanly with minimal trauma to the surrounding alveolar bone plate.

Meticulously forged to a total length of 180mm (approximately 7.08 inches), this instrument provides optimal structural clearance and excellent manual leverage. The handle features a traditional English-pattern design outfitted with deep cross-hatch knurling or fine finger grooves. This expansive grip surface ensures an absolute, non-slip palm hold and exceptional torque control under wet operational conditions.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

• Optimal 180mm Length (~7.08 Inches): Offers extended reach and balanced manual torque, keeping the operator’s hands clear of the surgical line of sight.
• Universal Lower Quadrant Adaptation: Features symmetrical, universal beaks that fit both the lower left and lower right mandibular root structures perfectly.
• Ultra-Narrow Slender Jaws: Parallel-closing micro-tips designed to access tiny, deep-seated fragments or narrow anterior roots without slipping.
• Atraumatic Sub-Gingival Seating: Low-profile beak walls slip easily into the alveolar socket, protecting the surrounding marginal gingiva from physical crushing.
• English-Pattern Textured Handles: Outfitted with heavily knurled handles that provide an absolute, non-slip grip and maximum tactile feedback.
• 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 workflows.
