150S Pedo Forceps Instrument

Description
The 150S Pedo Forceps adapt the classic 150 maxillary universal pattern into a pediatric-specific configuration with optimized ergonomics for smaller mouths. The “S” designation denotes a slim or short variation tailored for compact arch forms—shorter shanks, reduced handle length, and refined beak geometry that make access simpler in limited openings. Designed for careful luxation and atraumatic delivery of primary maxillary teeth, the 150S Pedo balances purchase security with crown preservation through precise beak contours and a smooth hinge action. The instrument is particularly suited to general dentists and pediatric specialists who require dependable performance in clinic, outreach, and mobile settings.

Because primary teeth have thinner crowns and flare differently than permanent dentition, the 150S emphasizes controlled, incremental movement rather than aggressive force. The forceps’ geometry facilitates appropriate buccal-lingual rocking and traction while minimizing stress on fragile enamel and supporting periodontal tissues.

Key Features

• Pediatric-optimized 150 pattern: Retains the universal maxillary form while scaling for smaller mouths and primary tooth anatomy.
