Description
Gerald Fig. 1
These Gerald cotton pliers are the Fig. 1 pattern at 15 cm, listed on the cotton pliers and tweezers page of our supplier’s catalogue. Intrace USA stocks this single size in Atlanta, Georgia. Because there is only one figure, ordering is simple: add it to the cart and it joins your tray setup.
A 15 cm Length for Everyday Reach
Fifteen centimetres is a common working length for dental tweezers. It reaches posterior teeth without crowding the operator’s view, while the hand stays well outside the oral cavity. So the Gerald pattern suits both the dentist and the assistant during four-handed work. If you prefer a longer reach, our Hemingway Fig. 2 runs to 17 cm.
Small Jobs Gerald Fig. 1 Handles Well
Cotton pliers are the quiet workhorse of the operatory. For example, staff use them to:
- place and retrieve cotton pellets and rolls
- carry small gauze pieces to a site
- pick up wedges, matrix pieces or debris
- transfer small items between tray and mouth
Then, once the step is done, the pliers go straight back to the tray, ready for the next pass.
Inspection, Coverage and First Use
Each Gerald plier is stainless steel and gets a hands-on check at our United States facility ahead of dispatch. Also, we back every Gerald tweezer for three years against manufacturing defects, meaning flaws in materials or workmanship. The pliers come unsterilized from our shelf, so put them through your ultrasonic and autoclave routine before any patient contact.
Matching the Pattern to Your Tray
Tweezer patterns differ mainly in tip shape and length. However, the catalogue names this one only by figure and size, so compare the product photos with your current pliers before you switch. When the Gerald Fig. 1 matches what your hands expect, many offices order several to keep every cassette stocked.
The stainless steel follows the ASTM F899 specification. For mirrors, probes and other chairside basics, visit Diagnostic, Periodontal & Restorative Instruments. You may also like the longer Hemingway Fig. 2 cotton pliers for deeper reach. Our FAQ page covers orders, returns and payment.
