Sklar Merit Extracting Forceps #10S, Upper Molar
A #10S pattern extraction forceps with a straight handle, shaped for gripping and extracting upper molar teeth during dental procedures.
The Sklar Merit Extracting Forceps, pattern #10S, is a dental instrument shaped specifically to grip and remove upper molar teeth during an extraction procedure. The beaks of the forceps are contoured to match the root and crown anatomy typical of upper molars, allowing the dentist to achieve a secure hold on the tooth before applying the controlled rocking and rotational movements needed to loosen and remove it from the socket.
This listing covers the #10S pattern with a straight handle, and the same product range includes the related #150S and #151S patterns, giving practitioners a set of forceps matched to different molar positions and root configurations. Extracting forceps of this kind are a routine part of general and oral surgical dental practice, used whenever a molar tooth needs to be removed due to decay, fracture, periodontal disease or orthodontic planning.
Manufactured from surgical grade stainless steel, the forceps are built to withstand the mechanical stress of extraction procedures and repeated autoclave sterilisation. They are a standard item in dental extraction kits and oral surgery instrument trays.
