NES-3376

There’s a reason the Ivory name shows up so often across this rubber dam lineup, in both standard and lightweight form: it’s simply one of the most trusted clamp-handling patterns in dentistry, and the NES-3376 brings the full, standard-weight version of that design to daily restorative and endodontic practice.
Where the lightweight variant trades some heft for reduced hand fatigue, this standard Ivory forceps keeps its original proportions intact, giving practitioners the fuller grip and leverage that many prefer when placing or removing clamps that need a firmer, more assertive touch. Bigger molar clamps in particular can benefit from that extra mechanical advantage, especially when working against a spring-loaded clamp that resists opening.
That resistance is exactly what a well-designed clamp forceps needs to overcome cleanly. Ivory’s jaw shape is built to engage the clamp’s wings securely, letting practitioners spread the clamp open with confidence, guide it into position over the tooth, and release it in a single controlled motion rather than fighting an awkward grip partway through.
Among the maxillofacial surgery instruments that support rubber dam procedures, this standard Ivory forceps remains a benchmark instrument, the kind that ends up as the default reach for many practitioners even when lighter or differently patterned alternatives sit right beside it in the tray.
Built from stainless steel, these forceps withstand repeated sterilization cycles and daily clinical handling, holding their grip strength and jaw alignment reliably across years of routine use.
