23 Cowhorn Extraction Forceps
CAD 189.99
The No. 23 Cowhorn Forceps is a specialized surgical tool designed specifically for the extraction of mandibular (lower) molars with decayed or accessible root bifurcations. Its distinctive, sharp, curved beaks resemble the horns of a cow, giving the instrument its name. Unlike standard forceps that grip the crown, the No. 23 is engineered to engage the space where the roots divide. By squeezing the handles, the pointed beaks act as a wedge, lifting the tooth coronally and often facilitating a much easier extraction in cases where the crown is severely damaged.
• 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.
