Description

CONODENT Premium Extracting Forceps English Pattern – Upper Root #51A (CDT-A-057)

The CONODENT CDT-A-057 (English Pattern Figure 51A) is an elite-tier surgical instrument engineered specifically for high-precision extractions in the maxillary arch. Designed explicitly for the retrieval of deeply fractured roots, retained root remnants, and heavily decayed crown structures, this instrument bridges the gap between conventional extraction forceps and root elevators.

Featuring a refined English pattern hinge configuration and meticulous bayonet-style angulation, it delivers exceptional mechanical advantage, tactile sensitivity, and deep alveolar access while ensuring minimal trauma to the surrounding periodontal ligament and alveolar bone.

Key Features & Clinical Benefits

1. Advanced Bayonet Geometry & Visibility

The specialized dual-bend bayonet shank shifts the working axis parallel to the handles. This unique geometry allows the clinician to reach deep into the posterior regions of the upper jaw without blocking the line of sight or exerting unnecessary pressure on the patient’s lips and commissures.

2. Micro-Narrow Parallel Beaks

Unlike standard forceps that grip only the crown, the #51A features ultra-slim, tapered beaks that sit completely parallel when engaged. This permits deep subgingival placement along the root surface, giving a firm, multi-point grip on even the smallest or most fragile root tips.

3. High-Tactile English Pattern Hinge

The traditional English pattern configuration provides a rigid, direct connection between the handle and the working tips. This gives the oral surgeon immediate tactile feedback, allowing them to feel the precise amount of luxation force being applied.

4. Slip-Resistant Ergonomic Handle

The handle surface features deep, cross-hatched knurling that guarantees a steady, slip-free grip—even when wearing wet nitrile or latex gloves. This minimizes hand fatigue during stubborn or complex multi-rooted extractions.

5. Premium Omani Engineering

Manufactured in the Sultanate of Oman utilizing state-of-the-art metallurgical processes, the instrument is forged from premium medical-grade stainless steel. It offers extreme wear resistance, retains its alignment under high torque, and is completely rust-proof.

Clinical Usage & Maintenance Guidelines

Indication for Use

• Position the beaks parallel to the long axis of the root.

• Advance the beaks apically into the periodontal ligament space to secure a deep mechanical purchase.

• Apply controlled, rotational, and slight outward forces to luxate and deliver the root segment cleanly.

Cleaning & Sterilization

1. Pre-cleaning: Rinse thoroughly immediately after surgical use to prevent blood and debris from drying in the hinge.

2. Ultrasonic Cleaning: Use a pH-neutral enzymatic detergent solution for 10 to 15 minutes.

3. Autoclaving: Autoclave using a standard dry cycle. Ensure the forceps are sterilized in an open position to protect the hinge longevity.
