At 15 cm (6\") the 22.610.15 gives comfortable reach for oral surgery, implantology and periodontal flap work while staying light in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Russian pattern differs from Adson, Semken or Gerald forceps in its working end. Where those carry narrow serrated or 1×2-tooth tips, the Russian forceps ends in a circular, deeply serrated cup with a domed centre. Closed on tissue, the cup grips a broad area with even pressure — secure enough to hold a thick flap, a graft or a specimen, gentle enough to avoid perforating it. The wide, horizontally serrated handle gives a confident grip through gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRussian-pattern round jaw: radially serrated cup with central boss for a broad, non-crushing grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 cm (6\") overall length for reach with control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide, serrated grip area for secure handling through gloves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-crafted by Helmut Zepf GmbH, manufactured in Germany from surgical stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully autoclavable; suitable for standard reprocessing cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClinical Application\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHolding and retracting mucoperiosteal flaps during surgery, stabilising tissue for suturing, handling and transferring grafts and specimens, and placing or removing packing.
