The length gives the reach and leverage to position the rubber dam clamp accurately over the anchor tooth, even in the most posterior regions of the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe forceps grip the clamp by its holes and expand it so it can pass over the crown of the tooth. The 17.5cm length helps with molars in the back of the mouth, where access is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace the clamp, release the forceps and check that the clamp is stable on the tooth before you stretch the dam over the bow.\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\u003ePalmer pattern rubber dam forceps, 17.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReach for posterior anchor teeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeverage to expand and position clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReliable tooth isolation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStaple instrument for the isolation set\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":67751013974330,"sku":"ED151","price":139.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/Rubber-Dam-Forceps-Palmer-17.5cm.jpg?v=1792584618","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-rubber-dam-forceps-palmer-17-5cm-ed151","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
