Sklar Merit Molar Extraction Forceps, Slim Angled

The Sklar Merit Molar Extraction Forceps is a veterinary dental instrument designed with a slim, angled profile to reach and grip molar teeth in small mammals, where the tight working space and delicate jaw structure require a more refined approach than typical extraction forceps used in larger animals.

The slim beak allows the veterinarian to access molars positioned further back in the mouth, while the angled design improves visibility and control during the extraction, both of which are important in patients with small, fragile jaws such as rabbits and rodents. This instrument is used specifically during dental procedures in exotic and small mammal veterinary practice, often as part of treating dental disease linked to malocclusion, root abscess or severe overgrowth that cannot be managed through trimming alone.

Because small mammal jaws are more prone to fracture than larger species, having a purpose designed slim forceps supports a more controlled, careful extraction technique. Manufactured from stainless steel, it withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation between patients. It is typically stocked in exotic animal veterinary dental kits.
