The Xcision-Line upper root forceps #51-W have slender bayonet-angled beaks for roots in the maxilla, on the ergonomic ZEPF Xcision-Line® handle. The bayonet shape keeps the hand clear of the lower lip and gives a direct line of sight to posterior upper root remnants.

Reach Upper Root Remnants

Narrow beaks slip into the socket to grasp fractured roots and root tips that standard forceps cannot hold. The bayonet angulation makes the #51 pattern suitable throughout the upper arch.

Xcision-Line® Ergonomics

The palm-filling Xcision-Line® handle spreads the force over the hand for a secure grip and controlled luxation. Made in Germany by Helmut Zepf and covered by our lifetime warranty on extraction forceps.
