Roba-Edition by Dr. Manfred Beck
The Roba-Edition is a collaboration designed by Dr. Manfred Beck, bringing specialist expertise directly into the instrument's form and function. The #79 Modified configuration is specifically adapted for lower wisdom teeth, offering the angulation and jaw width necessary to achieve a secure grip on mandibular third molars, even in restricted posterior access situations.
Diamond Coated Jaws
The defining feature of these lower wisdom teeth extraction forceps diamond coated instruments is the diamond-coated jaw surface. This coating significantly enhances the frictional grip on the tooth, reducing the risk of slippage during the luxation and extraction sequence. The result is a more controlled delivery force and greater procedural confidence for the clinician.
Onyx Coating & Instrument Finish
The handles feature an Onyx Coating, providing a durable, non-reflective black finish that reduces glare under surgical lighting while contributing to the instrument's corrosion resistance and longevity. This premium surface treatment complements the precision engineering that defines the Xcision-Line®.
