American Pattern Dental Extraction Forceps No. 18R - Upper Molars Right

DENTIFY® American Pattern Extraction Forceps No. 18R - Right Upper Molars

DENTIFY® American Pattern Extracting Forceps No. 18R are used for the extraction of right maxillary (upper) first and second molars. The right beak has a pointed tip to engage directly into the buccal root bifurcation, while the opposite beak is smooth and contoured to wrap securely around the large palatal root.  

Traditional American-pattern box-joint hinge provides a perfectly smooth, fluid movement, balanced handling, and a secure grip during extractions. 

The knurled handle enhances grip and provides optimal control. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, they offer durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent clinical performance.

Key Features of American Pattern Extraction Forceps No. 18R

American Box-Joint Hinge: Hidden, smooth-moving horizontal joint ensures long-term alignment stability and high tactile feedback.

Bifurcation Anchor & Palatal Wrap: Dual-profile jaws maximize surface contact, eliminating rotational slippage and ensuring a rock-solid grasp.
