Cowhorn English Pattern Forcep

The Cowhorn English Pattern Forcep is a specialized dental extraction instrument designed for the removal of lower molars, particularly those with severely broken-down crowns or significant caries. Its distinctive “cowhorn” design features beaks that curve inward, resembling horns, which engage the bifurcation of the mandibular molar roots. This unique shape allows the forcep to be seated securely below the crown in the furcation area, providing exceptional mechanical leverage to deliver the tooth with a mostly vertical “rocking” motion, often minimizing the need for extensive buccal-lingual expansion of the socket.

Key Features:

• Distinctive Cowhorn Beaks: Curved, pointed tips designed to engage the root bifurcation of lower molars.

• Vertical Extraction Mechanics: Primarily delivers the tooth with a coronal rocking motion.

• Ideal for Broken-Down Molars: Effective for teeth with insufficient coronal structure for standard forceps.

• Provides Superior Leverage: Excellent for extracting mandibular molars with strong, divergent roots.

• Durable Construction: Made from high-grade, medical-grade stainless steel.

• Fully Sterilizable: Autoclavable for safe, repeated use in oral surgery.
