Description

CONODENT Deep Grip Anatomical Forceps — Maxillary Universal Molar Pattern | CDT-A-244-6

The CONODENT CDT-A-244-6 is a dedicated instrument configuration within the premium Deep Grip Anatomical Series. Within CONODENT’s specialized surgical catalog, the specific “-6” numerical suffix designates the Maxillary Universal Molar Pattern.

Engineered to resolve the unique anatomical challenges presented by upper first and second molars—which feature three distinct, diverging roots (two buccal and one large palatal)—this instrument utilizes an optimized bayonet-style shank configuration. The design features a universal, smooth, deep-gripping beak geometry that bypasses the need for separate left and right instruments, allowing for predictable subgingival purchase on both sides of the upper jaw.

Advanced Key Features & Clinical Benefits

Double-Offset Bayonet Shank Geometry

The structural profile of the CDT-A-244-6 features a pronounced, double-curved bayonet design that offsets the working tips away from the handle axis.

• Posterior Reach: This specialized angulation allows the instrument to clear the patient’s anterior dentition and the commissure of the lips completely, giving the oral surgeon unrestricted access to the most posterior regions of the maxillary arch.

• Obstruction Clearance: The offset prevents the instrument handles from hitting the lower teeth or opposing arch, maintaining a true parallel path of insertion.

Universal Deep-Grip Parallel Beaks

Unlike quadrant-specific upper molar forceps that feature a pointed projection on one side for the buccal furcation, the CDT-A-244-6 features symmetrical, smooth, ultra-thin parallel-tapered beaks.

• Dual-Quadrant Versatility: By employing a smooth, deeply contoured beak architecture, this single instrument adapts beautifully to the radicular trunks of both upper left and upper right molars.

• Subgingival Tracking: The thin, wedged beak profiles glide smoothly into the narrow periodontal ligament (PDL) space, tracking deep past compromised coronal structures to grasp solid radicular dentin beneath the bone line.

Laser-Cut Micro-Serrations

Maxillary molars are anchored by substantial root surface areas and must withstand considerable multi-directional forces to be dislodged.

• Micro-Interlocking Traction: The internal faces of both beaks are etched with multi-directional laser micro-serrations that bite into the tooth structure at a microscopic level.

• Anti-Slip Stability: This constant mechanical grip eliminates rotational slip or instrument shifting, ensuring that every ounce of force applied to the handles translates directly into stretching and severing the anchoring PDL fibers.

Asymmetric Ergonomic Handle Mechanics

• Ergonomic Load Distribution: The highly contoured, hand-conforming handle design spreads physical mechanical load evenly across the clinician’s palm and fingers.

• Pinch Force Mitigation: By maximizing surface area contact, this design significantly lowers the physical gripping pressure required to maintain a secure hold, keeping hand fatigue minimal during stubborn extractions.

Premium Omani Metallurgy & Optic Comfort

Forged in the Sultanate of Oman from clinical-grade, high-density stainless steel.

• Non-Reflective Satin Finish: The surface features a fine matte/satin treatment that diffuses high-intensity light from dental operatory lamps and surgical microscopes, eliminating blinding glare.

• Corrosion Resistance: The specialized chromium-rich alloy provides robust protection against chemical pitting, staining, and thermal breakdown over thousands of autoclave cycles.

Technical Specifications

Clinical Application & Maintenance Protocols

1. Sulcular Disruption: Sever the epithelial attachment completely using a periotome or sharp sulcular knife to clear a pathway for the beaks.

2. Axial Seating: Align the bayonet-offset beaks parallel to the long axis of the molar roots. Gently slide the ultra-thin tips apically into the PDL space.

3. Deep Purchase: Drive the tips apically until the micro-serrations grasp solid radicular structure beneath any coronal decay or fracture lines.

4. Controlled Luxation: Maxillary molars possess two buccal roots and one large, palatal root. Utilize the handle leverage to apply controlled bucco-palatal rocking forces, combined with slight rotational torque. Rely on the micro-serrations to maintain continuous traction, expanding the alveolar socket progressively until the large palatal root releases from the bone housing.

Essential Reprocessing & Hinge Care

CRITICAL MAINTENANCE NOTE: To preserve the fluid articulation of the joint housing under heavy torsional loads, a strict cleaning routine is required. Clean the forceps in a completely open position inside an ultrasonic cleaner filled with a neutral pH enzymatic solution. Post-cleaning, always apply a professional-grade, water-soluble dental instrument lubricant (milking agent) directly to the hinge joint prior to autoclaving. Work the joint several times to distribute the lubricant. Autoclave the instrument inside a sterilization pouch in an open, unlocked position using a standard vacuum cycle up to 134°C (273°F). Run a complete dry cycle to eliminate any risk of localized micro-corrosion.
