The jaws are placed on the crown at the gum line, and the tooth is worked free with slow, steady rocking pressure rather than a straight pull. A fulcrum can be used for added leverage during the final stage. Equine dental extractions should be performed by a veterinarian or qualified equine dental practitioner, with the horse properly sedated and a full-mouth speculum in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquine veterinarians and equine dental technicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtracting diseased, fractured or loose premolars and molars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding or upgrading a professional equine extraction kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDr. Tail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel \/ SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEQI16-19\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree Prong Root Molar Extraction Forceps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrientation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOff Side (upper right \u0026amp; lower left)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 inches (approx. 48.3 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41.6 oz (2.6 lb \/ 1.18 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFine diamond-pattern knurling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean thoroughly after each use and dry completely before storage.
