GDC Rubber Dam Forceps Ivory 17cm (RDF)

The GDC Rubber Dam Forceps – Ivory (17cm) (Rdf) is a specialized dental instrument designed for the precise insertion and removal of rubber dam clamps during dental procedures. With small projections at the working end, these forceps are meticulously crafted to fit into corresponding holes in the rubber dam clamp. The beaked tips ensure a secure and atraumatic grip, facilitating efficient placement and adjustment of the rubber dam clamp around the tooth. The forceps feature a sliding lock mechanism that locks the handles in position, providing stability while the operator positions the rubber dam clamp. The 17cm length offers optimal reach and control, and corrosion resistance. This instrument is an essential tool for clinicians seeking accuracy and control in rubber dam isolation procedures.
