Diamond Coated Jaws — Xcision-Line®
A defining characteristic of the Xcision-Line® range is the diamond-coated jaw surface. This coating is engineered to provide a more secure engagement on the tooth surface during extraction, minimizing the risk of instrument slippage. As Dental Extraction Forceps purpose-designed for lower premolars, the jaw geometry is developed to complement the anatomical root form of these teeth, supporting efficient and controlled removal with a consistently reliable hold.
Roba-Edition by Dr. Manfred Beck
The Roba-Edition represents a clinician-developed modification of the classic Ash Pattern (English Pattern) #13 design. Developed in collaboration with Dr. Manfred Beck, this edition incorporates practical refinements aimed at supporting controlled luxation and extraction technique in lower premolar cases.
