86A Cowhorn Extraction Forceps

The 86A Cowhorn Extraction Forceps are specifically designed for the extraction of mandibular molars, particularly in cases where the crown structure is compromised due to extensive decay, fracture, or wear. Their distinctive cowhorn-style beaks are engineered to engage the furcation area of lower molars, providing secure tooth engagement and enhanced control during extraction.

The specialized beak design allows the forceps to gain purchase within the root bifurcation, utilizing the tooth’s anatomy to facilitate controlled elevation from the socket. This mechanical advantage can help reduce the amount of pulling and rotational force required during extraction procedures while promoting efficient tooth removal.

The English Pattern hinge design positions the fulcrum closer to the working ends, providing improved leverage and force transmission throughout the extraction process.

Key Features

• Designed for mandibular molar extractions
• Specialized cowhorn-style beaks for furcation engagement
• Suitable for molars with compromised or reduced crown structure
• Enhanced leverage for controlled tooth elevation and removal
• English Pattern design for improved mechanical advantage
• Matte finish to minimize glare under operating lights
• Textured handles for secure grip and precise instrument control
• Manufactured from high-quality 440A German stainless steel

Sterilization and Durability

Constructed from premium 440A German stainless steel, the 86A Cowhorn Extraction Forceps are designed to withstand repeated cleaning and autoclave sterilization cycles. Their corrosion-resistant construction ensures long-term durability, reliable performance, and compliance with standard clinical sterilization protocols.

Clinical Applications

The 86A Cowhorn Extraction Forceps are commonly used for the removal of mandibular molars, particularly teeth affected by extensive caries, fractured crowns, or reduced coronal structure. Their furcation-engaging beaks provide secure tooth engagement and controlled extraction, making them a valuable instrument for challenging lower molar procedures.
