Replacement Rubber Tips for Young Tongue Seizing Forceps, 2/Set

Young tongue seizing forceps grip the tongue through soft rubber jaw covers. Over time, those covers harden, crack or loosen. These Young forceps rubber tips replace them as a matched set of two. As a result, the steel forceps stay in service, and only the worn parts are renewed.

Why the Tips Are Rubber

Bare steel jaws would bruise the tongue. Rubber cushions the grip, so the forceps can hold the tongue forward without damaging it. Note that these tips are rubber, not stainless steel. Therefore, treat them as a wear part, with a shorter service life than the forceps they fit.

Signs It Is Time to Replace Them

Check the tips before each use. For example, look for surface cracks, tackiness, swelling or a cover that turns on the jaw. Any of those signs means the grip is no longer reliable. Since the set includes two tips, you replace both jaws together and keep the grip even.

• Two rubber tips per set, one for each jaw
• Made for Young tongue seizing forceps
• Renew worn covers without buying new forceps

Fitting the New Pair

Remove the old covers fully before fitting the replacements. Then press each new tip onto its jaw until it sits evenly. Finally, close the forceps once to confirm the tips meet squarely.

Reprocessing Rubber Parts

Rubber tolerates heat and chemicals differently from steel. So follow our published reprocessing guidance for these parts rather than assuming they match your steel cycle. Our team inspects each set in the United States before it ships, and the tips arrive non-sterile, so clean and sterilize them before use. Each set carries three years against manufacturing defects in the rubber itself, though ordinary wear is not a defect.

The forceps themselves use stainless steel under ASTM F899. If you need the complete instrument, order the Young Tongue Seizing Forceps, Rubber Jaw. Other items sit in Dental Implant Instruments, and our FAQs answer order questions.

Replacement tips are intended for trained professionals who use Young forceps clinically. Follow care and sterilization guidance, and check shipping and delivery for timing.
