Lower anterior and premolar extractions benefit from a universal pattern with enhanced grip. Fig 151 SK combines the classic lower universal geometry with serrated beaks that increase purchase on smoother or partially compromised crowns and roots.
Surgical-grade stainless steel ensures the instrument remains serviceable through heavy clinical use and repeated sterilization. The near-right-angle beak-to-handle relationship supports a neutral wrist position while applying apical pressure.
Key advantages:
- Serrated beaks for improved traction
- Universal lower anterior and premolar coverage
- Balanced design that reduces hand fatigue
- Reliable hinge action after autoclaving
Clinicians who prefer serrated surfaces for everyday lower-arch work often select this variation over the smooth-beak counterpart. The design allows both rotational and labiolingual movements while protecting the thinner labial bone of the mandible.
Next Edge Surgical produces the serrated version to the same dimensional standards as the non-serrated 151. For practices that value secure engagement on lower anteriors and premolars, this extracting forceps supplies a versatile and dependable daily instrument.
