Fig 2 Lower Universal Forceps

Fig 2 Lower Universal Forceps are a staple instrument in any dentist’s armamentarium. They are designed for grasping and extracting teeth in the lower jaw, particularly molars and premolars. Their versatility and effectiveness make them a go-to choice for various extraction procedures.

Key Features:

• Sturdy beaks: The beaks are strong and slightly curved to conform to the natural anatomy of lower molars and premolars. They feature sharp serrations for a secure grip on the tooth surface, minimizing the risk of slippage during extraction.

• Ergonomic handles: The handles are long and provide excellent leverage for applying controlled force during extraction. They are also textured for a comfortable and secure grip, even with wet gloves.

• Finger rings: The finger rings on the handles offer additional stability and control, allowing for precise maneuvering of the forceps during the extraction process.

• Durable construction: Made of high-quality stainless steel, these forceps are corrosion-resistant and can withstand repeated sterilization.

Uses:

• Extraction of lower molars and premolars: The Fig 2 forceps are well-suited for extracting both primary and permanent molars and premolars in the lower jaw.
• Sectioning of teeth: The sharp beaks can be used to section fractured teeth before removal.
• Elevating tooth fragments: After a tooth has been broken, the forceps can be used to gently elevate and remove any remaining fragments.
