Atraumatic Dental Forceps 22X with Curved Serrated Jaws
The Atraumatic Dental Forceps 22X combines a curved working end with serrated jaw surfaces, creating a distinct configuration for engaging appropriate tooth structure during extraction. The curved profile allows the beaks to approach the tooth along their intended working path rather than relying on a straight jaw arrangement.
The 22X pattern is the central identifying feature of this forceps. Pattern-specific extraction instruments should be selected according to the tooth anatomy and available access, and the 22X provides its own jaw and handle relationship within the range of dental extraction forceps.
The serrated inner surfaces form the principal contact area with the tooth. Once the jaws are appropriately seated, they provide a defined grip for the extraction movement selected by the clinician. Proper positioning is particularly important because the working ends need to correspond with accessible tooth structure before force is applied.
Another notable characteristic is the contoured black handle. Its shaped grip provides a substantial hand-contact area behind the curved jaws, giving the instrument a distinctive handling profile and helping the operator maintain the intended orientation during tooth engagement.
The 22X can be incorporated into appropriate dental extraction and oral surgery workflows where its curved jaw configuration and pattern are suited to the tooth being treated. It should be selected according to tooth position, accessible structure, surrounding anatomy, and the extraction technique being used.
The instrument is intended for repeated professional use. Appropriate cleaning, inspection, sterilization, and maintenance should be carried out according to established dental instrument-processing procedures.

FAQs
What is the Atraumatic Dental Forceps 22X used for?
It is intended for suitable dental extraction procedures where its 22X jaw configuration provides appropriate access and engagement with the tooth.
What is distinctive about the 22X jaws?
The working ends combine a curved profile with serrated inner surfaces, giving the forceps a specific tooth-engagement configuration.
What is the purpose of the serrations?
The serrated surfaces provide the primary contact area between the jaws and appropriately engaged tooth structure.
Why does the 22X have a contoured handle?
The shaped handle provides a dedicated gripping surface behind the working jaws and gives the instrument its particular handling configuration.
Does the 22X pattern suit every extraction?
No. Forceps should be selected according to the tooth's anatomy, position, accessible structure, and the working geometry required for the procedure.
Can the 22X be reused after sterilization?
Yes. It is intended for repeated professional use when appropriately cleaned, inspected, sterilized, and maintained between procedures.
