2 Veterinary Tartar Removing Forceps 4.5″ & 7″ Dental Set | SAG Surgical

Description

The 2 veterinary tartar removing forceps set is a specialized dental instrument kit designed for effective removal of heavy calculus and plaque from the teeth of dogs, cats, and other small animals . The SAG Surgical veterinary tartar removing forceps set includes two essential sizes (4.5″ and 7″), engineered for controlled, safe calculus removal during professional veterinary dental prophylaxis.

These veterinary tartar forceps are uniquely crafted with a cup-and-point or curved beak design that allows for easy removal of bulky tartar prior to scaling and polishing . This specialized jaw design minimizes the risk of tooth fracture by allowing controlled force application . The set includes both sizes: the 4.5″ cat/dog tartar forceps is ideal for small patients, while the 7″ forceps provides additional leverage for larger breeds with substantial calculus accumulation.

The veterinary dental forceps feature a spring mechanism that helps prevent the use of excessive force, ensuring better control during dental procedures . The spring-operated, cross-hatched grip handles on these tartar removing forceps provide a firm, non-slip hold that prevents slipping during use . The stainless steel construction ensures these veterinary dental instruments are durable, corrosion-resistant, and autoclavable for repeated use.

Tartar removing forceps are used in veterinary settings to remove gross calculus accumulation prior to ultrasonic scaling . They are typically used with a palm grip, applying careful, controlled force by placing one tip at the ridge of tartar near the gingiva and the other on the crown to carefully fracture off the calculus mass . These veterinary tartar forceps are ideal for patients with heavy calculus buildup where mechanical scalers alone may be less effective.

Veterinary dental instruments are manufactured to the highest standards using premium stainless steel. This ensures that every tartar removing forceps maintains its precision and functionality even after repeated sterilization cycles. This veterinary tartar forceps set is fully reusable and can be sterilized using moist heat or steam sterilization .

SAG Surgical takes pride in offering premium veterinary tartar forceps that meet the demanding requirements of modern veterinary dental practice. Every tartar removing forceps undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance.
