Xcision-Line® Handle
The Xcision-Line® handle is shaped to fill the palm, spreading the force over the whole hand and giving a secure, non-slip grip. That translates into better control and less fatigue during difficult root extractions.
Classic #45-F Beaks
The narrow, closely meeting beaks follow the #45-F pattern for lower roots and root remnants. Made in Germany by Helmut Zepf; the version with standard handle is 10.045.07.
