Fig 150 XAS Extraction Forceps – Upper Premolars, Incisors and Roots, Also for Children

Product Overview

The Fig 150 XAS Extraction Forceps is a dental extraction instrument intended for use in procedures involving upper premolars, incisors, and roots. It is also designated for pediatric applications, making it suitable for dental professionals who treat both adult and child patients, subject to appropriate instrument sizing, clinical assessment, and technique.

Extraction forceps are important instruments in dentistry because they help clinicians grasp and manipulate a tooth during a planned extraction. The design of the forceps plays an important role in access, positioning, handling, and the application of controlled force throughout the procedure.

The Fig 150 XAS model is a versatile option for professional dental settings where an instrument for upper anterior teeth, premolars, and selected root extraction applications is required.

Design and Functional Benefits

The Fig 150 XAS is intended to provide practical handling for a variety of upper-tooth extraction procedures. Its working ends are designed for engagement with the tooth according to the instrument’s specific pattern, while the handles provide a surface for the clinician to hold and control the instrument.

The main benefits of this instrument may include:

• Versatile applications: Intended for upper premolars, incisors, and roots.
• Pediatric applications: Also designated for use in children’s dentistry when clinically appropriate.
• Controlled handling: Supports professional grasping and manipulation during extraction procedures.
• Practical instrument selection: Offers multiple intended applications in one instrument pattern.
• Professional dental use: Suitable for appropriately equipped dental clinics, hospitals, and oral healthcare facilities.
• Reusable instrument workflow: Reuse is appropriate only if the supplied instrument is specifically designated as reusable and can be processed according to its manufacturer’s validated instructions.

Applications

The Fig 150 XAS Extraction Forceps may be selected by a qualified dental professional for the following intended applications:

1. Extraction of upper incisors.
2. Extraction of upper premolars.
3. Selected upper-root extraction procedures.
4. Pediatric dental extractions where the instrument is appropriate for the patient’s anatomy and the planned procedure.

The choice of extraction instrument should always be based on the tooth’s position, root anatomy, accessibility, patient age, and clinical requirements. Pediatric use requires particular attention to the child’s anatomy and the suitability of the instrument.

Quality, Handling and Maintenance

Dental extraction instruments must be inspected before use to ensure that the working ends, joint, and handles are in suitable condition. Any instrument with visible damage, corrosion, looseness, or impaired function should be removed from service until assessed.

Where the product is supplied as a reusable instrument, cleaning, disinfection, inspection, packaging, and sterilization must follow the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable infection-prevention protocols. The instrument should not be used beyond its intended purpose.
