Extracting Forceps American Pattern Fig 3FS Woodward

The Extracting Forceps American Pattern Fig. 3FS Woodward is the professional’s choice for difficult mandibular extractions. The “3FS” designation represents the marriage of a “Fine” head—allowing for better subgingival access—and “Serrated” beaks, which provide multiple points of contact on the tooth surface. This combination is particularly effective for molars with broken-down crowns or slippery root surfaces. At Dentstar International, we hand-finish every instrument in Sialkot to ensure the serrations are perfectly sharp and the hinge is smooth.

Key Features & Clinical Benefits

• Fine Serrated (FS) Technology: The beaks feature precision-milled serrations that “bite” into the tooth structure, significantly reducing the risk of slippage and root fracture during high-pressure luxation.

• Woodward Anatomical Profile: Designed with a specialized beak-to-handle curvature that allows the clinician to navigate the posterior mandible without obstructing the line of sight.

• American Box-Joint Hinge: The recessed hidden hinge provides a stable, long-lasting pivot point that prevents the pinching of oral mucosa and maintains alignment over years of use.

• Premium German-Grade Steel: Crafted from high-carbon surgical stainless steel for maximum hardness and total resistance to corrosion after repeated sterilization.

• Ergonomic Handle Grip: Features the traditional American knurled pattern, providing a secure, non-slip surface for the palm-down grip style common in mandibular extractions.
