Extraction Forceps, English Pattern, #18 Modified, Roba-Edition By Dr. Manfred Beck, Upper Left Molars, Xcision-Line®, Onyx Coating | Helmut Zepf No. 12.218.00ZTI

The Dental Extraction Forceps #18 Modified, part of the Roba-Edition by Dr. Manfred Beck, is a precision instrument engineered for the atraumatic removal of upper left molars. Designed following the English Pattern, this forceps carries Helmut Zepf's black ONYX coating — a non-reflecting, extremely smooth, scratch-resistant surface — with concave inner beak contours shaped to the convex crown anatomy of the upper left molars for parallel, maximum engagement that reduces the risk of root fracture.

Key Features

• ONYX Coating: Matt-black, impact-resistant surface that prevents light reflection, resists protein incrustation, and gives optimal contrast in the operating field.
• Roba-Edition by Dr. Manfred Beck: Patented beak geometry adapted to the convex tooth contour, with a wear-resistant Teflon® disc joint for consistently light action.
• Xcision-Line® Craftsmanship: Manufactured under Helmut Zepf GmbH's Xcision-Line® standard for premium instrument quality and surgical precision.
