Design Characteristics

The Fig 69SK is designed as a Tomas-pattern extraction forceps, with its working configuration intended to provide access to root structures in both the maxillary and mandibular arches. The forceps design allows the operator to position the beaks around the accessible root structure and apply controlled extraction forces through the handles.

The specialized working end is particularly useful when the remaining tooth structure provides limited crown access and the clinician needs an instrument intended specifically for root extraction. The form of the beaks and overall instrument geometry are intended to support secure engagement and controlled manipulation during extraction.
