Slim contra-angled forceps for atraumatic removal of maxillary root stumps and retained root tips
The Waldent Tooth Extraction Forceps Upper Roots No. 197 is a precision-engineered instrument designed for the atraumatic removal of maxillary root stumps and retained root tips. Forged from high-grade surgical stainless steel, it delivers the strength, corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability demanded in routine and surgical exodontia. The slim, contra-angled beaks taper to conform closely to the contour of thin upper roots, allowing the operator to seat the working end deep within the periodontal ligament space for a secure, slip-free grip on fragments where the crown has fractured or decayed away. The handle geometry supports the correct palm-up maxillary position, channelling controlled apical and rotational force to the beaks while keeping the clinician's hand comfortable and fatigue-free. Serrated inner surfaces enhance traction on smooth root surfaces, reducing the risk of slippage and further fracture. Autoclavable and built for repeated sterilisation, it is an essential addition to any oral surgery setup.
