They expand and position the clamp over the anchor tooth, giving the stability and control needed for secure isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe beaks seat in the holes of the clamp, and the handles expand it with a smooth action. The 17cm length provides reach and leverage for the posterior teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA locking mechanism holds the clamp open as you position it, and releases it onto the tooth once it is correctly seated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePlacing the Clamp\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeat the forceps beaks in the clamp holes, expand the clamp just far enough to pass over the greatest bulge of the tooth, then lower it to the gingival margin and release. Tie floss to the bow of the clamp before placement as a safety line, so it can be retrieved if it slips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck that the clamp jaws sit on sound tooth structure and do not pinch the gingiva. Reverse the process to remove the clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForceps should be checked for smooth hinge action and secure beak seating before sterilization, because a loose beak can let a clamp spring away during placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from medical grade stainless steel.
