Extracting Forceps American Pattern Fig 17 – Lower Molars

Extracting Forceps American Pattern Fig. 17 is an essential tool for any dental professional performing mandibular extractions. Specifically designed for the lower first and second molars, the Fig. 17 is characterized by its heavy-duty build and specialized beak geometry. The tips are engineered to engage the tooth at the furcation and cervical line, ensuring a secure, multi-point contact that prevents crown fracture. At Dentstar International, we hand-calibrate every Fig. 17 to ensure the hinge operates with zero friction and the beaks align with absolute precision.

Key Features & Clinical Benefits

• Tri-Pointed Beak Geometry: The beaks feature a pointed tip designed to seat perfectly into the buccal and lingual furcations, providing a “locking” grip during luxation.

• American Box-Joint Hinge: A smooth, hidden hinge design that provides a stable pivot point while preventing the pinching of soft oral tissues.

• Superior Mandibular Leverage: The handle-to-beak ratio is optimized for the high-force requirements of lower molar removal, reducing hand fatigue for the clinician.

• Premium German-Grade Steel: Forged from high-carbon surgical stainless steel for exceptional durability and 100% resistance to corrosion after repeated sterilization cycles.

• Satin Anti-Glare Finish: Treated to minimize light reflections from surgical lamps, ensuring a clear and unobstructed view of the surgical site.
