The Dr. Tail Equine Long Nose Fragment Forceps have long, slender jaws set on an angled neck, designed to reach deep into the mouth and grasp root tips, crown fragments and loose dental debris around the caudal cheek teeth, where short or bulky forceps cannot reach.
Available in 19" and 21" lengths.
Key Features
- The long, slender nose reaches into sockets and tight spaces between teeth.
- Angled jaws improve access and visibility at the back of the mouth.
- Choose 19" for most horses or 21" for maximum reach in large horses.
- Knurled grips with ball-tipped ends give secure, controlled handling.
- A solid pivot joint gives smooth, stable jaw action.
- Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel that is easy to clean.
How It's Used
Retained root tips are a recognized complication of oral cheek tooth extraction and should be removed to prevent ongoing infection. After a tooth is delivered, the socket and the extracted tooth are inspected to confirm all roots are accounted for. Loose fragments are then grasped with the long nose and withdrawn gently. Fragments still firmly attached may need further elevation first, and complex cases may require a surgical approach.
Ideal For
- Equine veterinarians and equine dental technicians
- Removing retained root tips and crown fragments
- Cleaning up after cheek tooth extractions
