Stokes Rubber Dam Clamp Forceps

Description

Stokes Rubber Dam Clamp Forceps

These rubber dam clamp forceps follow the Stokes pattern, one of several clamp forceps designs on the supplier’s rubber dam page. They open a clamp, hold it spread, and let you place it on the tooth before the dam goes over. A staff member at our Georgia office inspects each pair, so it passes a US check before dispatch.

Placing a Clamp in Four Moves

First, the forceps beaks go into the two holes of the clamp jaws. Next, squeezing the handles spreads the jaws wide enough to pass the tooth’s height of contour. You then lower the clamp to the cervical area and release slowly so it grips. Finally, the forceps slide out, and the same tool takes the clamp off at the end of treatment.

Where the Stokes Pattern Sits Among Clamp Forceps

The catalogue shows Ainsworth, Ivory, Brewer, Palmer and Stokes patterns together. Each is a named design rather than a size. So the choice usually comes down to the feel a clinician or assistant already trusts. If your team trained on Stokes forceps, ordering the same pattern keeps every isolation tray predictable. Otherwise, compare the photo with the forceps you use now before you decide.

Steel, Warranty and Preparation

The forceps are made of stainless steel meeting ASTM F899. In addition, we guarantee them for three years against manufacturing defects. They are packed non-sterile, which means a scrub, rinse and autoclave cycle should come before the first case.

Find the ASTM F899 standard online, then browse Diagnostic, Periodontal & Restorative Instruments for the rest of the isolation kit. Our rubber dam clamps come in many figures to go with these forceps. Return and lead time answers are in the FAQs.
