Stieglitz Splinter Forceps

Description

Stieglitz Splinter Forceps

Stieglitz splinter forceps combine ring handles with long, fine jaws. You can pick straight jaws or jaws angled at 45 or 90 degrees.

Three tip angles

The straight jaws suit fragments you can approach directly. However, the 45 and 90 degree jaws turn the tips toward targets behind a ridge or in a socket.

Fine pointed jaws

Each jaw narrows to a slim, serrated point. So the forceps close on small root tips and slivers without crushing them.

Ring handles

Finger rings give smooth control over the jaw opening. Then a light squeeze holds the fragment while you draw it out.

Where it helps

Oral surgeons use the angled versions for root fragments. Also, general and minor-surgery clinics keep a straight pair for deep splinters. The angled jaws come from dental practice, where fragments often sit deep in a socket. With a 90 degree tip, you can reach straight down from above. By contrast, the 45 degree tip suits fragments that lie at a slant. Many oral surgeons stock all three versions on one tray.

Reprocessing Stieglitz splinter forceps

Rinse the jaws after use and brush the joint. Next, wash, rinse and dry the instrument. Before sterilization, confirm the fine points still meet.
