Description

The Dental Extracting Forceps Apex Lower Universal (Fig #9) is a specialized surgical instrument engineered for high-precision extraction procedures. Designed specifically as a Deep Root Pick and universal lower molar/root forceps, this instrument is a critical asset for oral surgeons and dentists performing complex exodontia. Its refined beak geometry allows for the secure grasping of root fragments or teeth that are otherwise difficult to access, ensuring that surgeons can achieve reliable outcomes with minimal trauma to the surrounding alveolar bone.

Clinical Design & Utility

The defining feature of this Fig #9 forceps is its anatomically optimized jaw design, which enables a deep, secure purchase on lower root structures. As demonstrated in , the specialized beak profile allows the clinician to reach deep into the periodontal space, providing the necessary mechanical leverage to elevate and extract fractured roots or deep-seated molar segments.

Constructed from medical-grade high-hardness stainless steel, these forceps are built to withstand the physical demands of high-volume clinical practice. The instrument is engineered to maintain its structural rigidity—guaranteeing it remains “not deformed”—even under the significant lateral forces applied during tooth luxation. The surface is treated to resist oxidation and discoloration, ensuring a professional, hygienic finish that remains intact through repeated, high-intensity autoclave sterilization cycles.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

• Deep Root Pick Design: Specialized “Fig #9” jaw geometry engineered for accessing and extracting fractured root tips and difficult-to-reach lower molar segments.
• High-Hardness Surgical Stainless Steel: Forged from premium-grade steel to ensure superior strength, edge retention, and resistance to structural warping.
• Anatomical Grip Handles: Features a precision-milled, cross-hatched handle texture that provides a secure, slip-free grasp, even in blood-rich clinical environments.
• Anti-Corrosion Surface Treatment: Advanced finishing technology prevents fading and pitting, maintaining the instrument’s professional appearance after countless sterilization rotations.
• Professional Ergonomics: Balanced weight distribution optimizes tactile feedback, allowing the clinician to feel the resistance of the tooth/root during luxation.
• 100% Autoclavable: Fully optimized for heavy-duty thermal sterilization, ultrasonic cleaning, and chemical disinfectant protocols.
• Global Quality Compliance: Manufactured in strict accordance with international CE and ISO quality management systems for medical instrumentation.
