Product OverviewLower Roots Extraction Forceps are precision dental instruments engineered for controlled removal of lower (mandibular) tooth roots and retained root fragments. The serrated, spade‑cupped beaks ensure secure engagement of root structures while the extended angulated profile improves access in posterior and hard‑to‑reach sites. An ergonomic textured handle provides a secure grip to support precise, controlled extraction motions. Manufactured from medical‑grade stainless steel and passivated for enhanced corrosion resistance, these reusable forceps are suitable for repeated cleaning and validated sterilization methods.
Key Features- Intended for extraction of lower tooth roots and retained root fragments
- Serrated, spade‑cupped beaks for firm root engagement and reduced slippage
- Extended angulation and long, angled profile for improved posterior access
- Beak geometry designed for controlled gripping and efficient removal
- Ergonomic, textured handles for secure handling during procedures
- Medical‑grade stainless steel construction with passivation treatment
- Reusable and suitable for validated sterilization (autoclavable)
- Appropriate for general dentistry and oral surgery applications
Additional Product DetailsSpecially shaped tips provide a reliable grip on lower posterior roots and retained fragments. The long, angled profile facilitates positioning in challenging extraction sites while maintaining controlled extraction forces. Passivation performed to improve corrosion resistance and long‑term performance. Delivered non‑sterile; reusable and autoclavable. Form test, boiling test and performance test conducted during production. Lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Product Care / Reprocessing GuidanceImmediate Cleaning After Use:Begin cleaning immediately after use to prevent organic material from drying. Wipe instruments at point of use and apply moisture‑retaining enzymatic agents where appropriate. For heavily soiled instruments, soak in an enzymatic cleaning solution.
Safe Handling and Transportation:Transfer used instruments in sealed, puncture‑resistant containers clearly labeled as biohazardous to avoid exposure and leakage.
Thorough Manual Cleaning:Perform manual cleaning with soft brushes, approved detergents and lint‑free cloths prior to mechanical processes. Pay attention to hinges, grooves and joints. Rinse thoroughly with purified water (distilled or deionized) to remove detergent residues.
Advanced Mechanical Cleaning:Use ultrasonic cleaners and automated washer‑disinfectors where available. Arrange instruments to ensure complete exposure during the cleaning cycle and follow equipment manufacturer instructions.
Sterilization Methods:- Steam sterilization (autoclave)
- Ethylene oxide (gas) sterilization
- Hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization
- Dry heat sterilization
Residue Removal Following Gas Sterilization:Rinse instruments with purified water after gas sterilization to remove potential chemical residues.
Proper Drying Procedures:Allow instruments to cool and aerate after sterilization. Ensure complete drying to prevent corrosion or staining. Use lint‑free cloths or compressed air as needed.
Instrument Lubrication:Periodically lubricate hinges and movable parts with medical‑grade, water‑soluble lubricants per manufacturer guidance to maintain smooth function.
Inspection and Functional Assessment:Inspect each instrument for cleanliness, structural integrity and operational performance. Remove any device showing cracks, chips, corrosion or functional defects. Use magnification if required.
Sterile Packaging and Storage:Package instruments using appropriate sterile packaging (pouches, wraps or rigid containers), label with sterilization date and contents, and store in a clean, dry area off the floor. Implement first‑in, first‑out stock rotation.
Documentation and Quality ComplianceMaintain records of sterilization cycles, processing methods, equipment performance, operator details, biological monitoring and maintenance logs to ensure traceability and support audits.
