23 Cowhorn Extraction Forceps

• Pointed Mandibular Beaks: Designed to seat deeply into the bifurcation of lower first and second molars for a mechanical “wedging” advantage.

• High-Leverage Pivot: The hinge is reinforced to handle the significant pressure required to luxate multi-rooted teeth from the dense lower jawbone.

• Non-Slip Ergonomic Handles: Features a cross-hatched texture to ensure the surgeon maintains a secure grip during rotational movements.

• Surgical Steel Composition: Made from high-quality stainless steel that resists corrosion and maintains tip sharpness through repeated sterilization cycles.

Usage & Selection Guide:

The No. 23 Cowhorn is the best choice for lower molars where the crown is missing or the root bifurcation is clearly defined. It is highly effective for “pumping” the tooth out of the socket. If you are dealing with a tooth that has a solid crown, a No. 22 or No. 151 might be preferred, but for damaged molars, the Cowhorn is an indispensable problem-solver.
