Fig 150AS – Serrated Beak Upper Anteriors, Split Beaks

Product Overview

The Fig 150AS Serrated Beak Upper Anteriors Split Beak Extraction Forceps is a precision dental extraction instrument designed for controlled and secure removal of upper anterior teeth. This universal American-pattern forceps features specially engineered split serrated beaks that provide an enhanced mechanical grip around the tooth structure while helping the operator maintain controlled handling during extraction procedures.

The Fig 150AS pattern is widely associated with extraction of upper incisors, canines, premolars and applicable root structures. Its split-beak configuration is designed to engage the tooth securely beneath the crown, while the serrated internal surfaces improve traction and reduce the need for excessive gripping pressure.

Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument is intended for durability, corrosion resistance, repeated cleaning, and sterilization when processed according to applicable instrument-care protocols. The American-pattern hinge provides a smooth, streamlined construction that supports efficient cleaning and routine maintenance.

Long Description

The Fig 150AS Serrated Beak Upper Anteriors Split Beaks is a specialized dental extraction forceps developed for clinicians who require a dependable combination of secure tooth engagement, controlled force application, and ergonomic instrument handling. The instrument incorporates a universal upper-jaw configuration suitable for a range of anterior and premolar extraction applications.

Its defining feature is the split serrated beak design. The divided beaks are shaped to provide a more effective grasp around the tooth, while the serrated working surfaces increase mechanical retention. This configuration is particularly useful when a stable purchase on the tooth is required during controlled extraction. Manufacturer information describes the serrations as providing increased mechanical grasp without requiring increased pressure.

The 150AS pattern is generally associated with upper incisors, canines, premolars and roots, making it a versatile addition to a dental extraction instrument set. Its universal design allows use across the appropriate upper-anterior tooth positions without requiring separate right- and left-sided versions.

The forceps are manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, providing the strength and corrosion resistance expected of reusable dental instrumentation. A properly finished stainless-steel surface also facilitates cleaning and reprocessing when the instrument is maintained according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s sterilization procedures.

The instrument’s American-pattern construction features a smooth hinge area without a prominently exposed hinge pin. This streamlined construction can simplify cleaning around the joint and provides a familiar operating feel for clinicians accustomed to American-pattern extraction forceps.

The ergonomic handle is designed to support controlled manipulation and tactile feedback during extraction. A stable hand position is particularly important when applying carefully directed movements during tooth removal. The instrument should always be selected and used by appropriately trained dental professionals according to the clinical condition of the tooth, surrounding anatomy, and established extraction technique.

The Fig 150AS is therefore a practical choice for general dentistry, oral surgery, dental clinics, extraction procedure sets, teaching institutions, and professional dental instrument collections where a serrated split-beak upper extraction forceps is required.
