Warranty and Our Guarantee

Every Zepf instrument on this page carries a one-year Helmut Zepf Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship (Zepf extraction forceps carry a lifetime warranty). And because an instrument can only be judged in the hand, you have 60 days to return it for any reason — even after you have used it. Try it on real cases; if it is not the instrument for you, send it back.
