87 Cowhorn Extraction Forceps

The 87 Cowhorn Extraction Forceps are designed for the removal of mandibular molars, featuring a specialized cowhorn-style beak configuration that engages the furcation area (root split) of lower molars. This unique design allows the instrument to create a controlled lifting action when pressure is applied to the handles, helping facilitate efficient extraction with improved operator control.

The curved cowhorn beaks are particularly effective for teeth with compromised crown structure, fractures, or extensive decay. By engaging the root bifurcation, the forceps utilize the natural anatomy of the tooth to assist in elevation from the socket, reducing the need for excessive pulling force and supporting more controlled extraction procedures.

The English Pattern hinge design provides enhanced leverage by positioning the fulcrum closer to the working ends, allowing smoother force application and improved handling during posterior extractions.

Key Features

• Designed for mandibular molar extractions
• Cowhorn beaks for secure engagement of the furcation area
• Suitable for broken, fractured, or severely damaged molars
• Provides controlled lifting action during extraction
• English Pattern design for improved leverage and stability
• Matte finish to reduce glare under operating lights
• Textured handles for precise grip and instrument control
• Manufactured from high-quality 440A German stainless steel

Sterilization and Durability

Made from premium 440A German stainless steel, the 87 Cowhorn Extraction Forceps are designed to withstand repeated cleaning and autoclave sterilization cycles. Their corrosion-resistant construction ensures reliable performance, durability, and compliance with standard clinical hygiene and sterilization requirements.

Clinical Applications

The 87 Cowhorn Extraction Forceps are commonly used for challenging lower molar extractions, especially when teeth have damaged crowns, extensive decay, or limited remaining structure. The specialized cowhorn beak design provides secure furcation engagement, enhanced leverage, and controlled removal during complex posterior extraction procedures.
