Stainless Steel Rubber Dam Clamp Forceps – 17.5cm

A stainless steel rubber dam clamp forceps instrument measuring 17.5cm in length, used for the placement and removal of rubber dam clamps during field isolation procedures. The spring-loaded mechanism and curved beaks allow controlled engagement with clamp holes for precise intraoral placement and retrieval across anterior and posterior quadrants.

Clinical Advantages

Spring-loaded mechanism maintains jaw opening during clamp engagement, reducing operator fatigue
Locking ratchet allows the clinician to secure the clamp on the forceps tips prior to intraoral placement
Curved beak design provides access to posterior quadrants without obstruction from adjacent structures
17.5cm length provides adequate reach for posterior clamp placement
Stainless steel construction withstands repeated autoclave sterilization cycles

Indications & Clinical Use

Placement and removal of rubber dam clamps on anchor teeth
Intraoral manipulation of clamps during field isolation setup
Retrieval of displaced or repositioned clamps during operative procedures

Material & Performance

Material: Stainless steel
Length: 17.5cm
Mechanism: Spring-loaded with locking ratchet
Beak design: Curved for posterior access
Autoclavable; reusable instrument

Clinical Workflow

Engage forceps tips into the holes of the selected rubber dam clamp
Lock the ratchet to secure the clamp on the forceps
Position the clamp over the anchor tooth and apply controlled apical pressure to seat the clamp at the cervical margin
Release the ratchet and disengage forceps from clamp once seated
Reverse procedure for clamp removal at end of isolation
Sterilize by autoclave after each clinical use
