It does the same clinical job, lower molar extractions and delivery of retained mandibular roots, with one change at the hinge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe IS stands for Integrated Spring. A leaf spring built into the hinge reopens the beaks after every squeeze, so you do not have to spread the handles with your fingers between movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe narrow apical beaks reach below the crown to grip the root surface of a lower molar. The spring opening removes an active motion from each cycle of squeeze and release, which adds up over a full day of extractions and is useful in clinics that do high extraction volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompress, rock buccally and lingually, then release and reseat as the tooth loosens, with the spring taking care of the reopening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnique and Care\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose forceps whose beaks match the root or tooth you are removing, and seat both beaks fully before you apply force. Use controlled rocking and rotation rather than a sudden pull, and support the jaw with your other hand to protect the temporomandibular joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForceps are for gripping and luxating, not for levering. After each case, open the hinge, flush out debris and check that the hinge moves freely before sterilizing. A drop of instrument lubricant on the hinge keeps the action smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from medical grade stainless steel. Autoclavable for repeated sterilization cycles. Clean and dry the instrument after each use, and check the working ends for wear or damage before it goes into the pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated leaf spring in the hinge reopens the beaks automatically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower molar apical pattern, matching the standard 222 beak shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNarrow beaks that grip the root below the crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess finger spreading between compressions, lower hand fatigue over long extraction sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor lower molars and retained mandibular roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical grade stainless steel, autoclavable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SurgiWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751028654394,"sku":"FR222IS","price":219.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/222-Lower-Molars-Apical-IS-Forceps.jpg?v=1792584960","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-222-is-lower-molar-apical-forceps-fr222is","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
