Bionex Lower Cowhorn Forceps, Stainless Steel
A stainless steel cowhorn forceps with pointed beaks that engage molar bifurcation, used for controlled extraction of lower molar teeth, suited to everyday demands of a busy clinic.
Lower Cowhorn Forceps are dental extraction instruments recognized by their pointed, curved beaks, designed to engage the bifurcation area of a lower molar rather than gripping the crown broadly as many other forceps do. Driving the pointed beaks into the furcation lets the operator apply a squeezing, wedging action that can help separate the roots and lift a molar that presents a more challenging extraction.
This approach is often reserved for molars where a conventional forceps grip does not provide sufficient purchase, giving the dentist an alternative technique for a difficult case. Made from stainless steel, the forceps is a reusable surgical instrument intended for routine autoclave sterilization between patients, as required for any extraction instrument.
It is used by general dentists and oral surgeons alongside standard molar forceps, providing an additional option for lower molar extractions with a complex root configuration.
