This version is lighter than the standard Ivory forceps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reduced weight lowers hand fatigue in long procedures, and the locking mechanism holds the clamp expanded until you are ready to release it. It handles with a more agile feel than the standard model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits clinicians who place clamps many times a day, or who prefer a lighter instrument.\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.

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\u003eLightweight version of the standard Ivory forceps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17cm length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReliable locking mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces hand fatigue in long procedures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor expanding and positioning rubber dam clamps\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":67751113490746,"sku":"ED156","price":139.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/Rubber-Dam-Forceps-_E2_80_93-Ivory-Lightweight-17-cm.webp?v=1792586292","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-rubber-dam-forceps-ivory-lightweight-17-cm-ed156","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
