69 Tomes, Upper Lower Fragments & Roots, Atlas

The 69 Tomes, Upper/Lower Fragments & Roots, Atlas Forceps is a specialized dental extraction instrument designed for professional removal of upper and lower tooth fragments and roots. Manufactured within the Atlas Forceps range, the instrument is engineered to provide strength, precision, flexibility, and improved operator control during demanding extraction procedures. HuFriedyGroup identifies the product as F69IS , specifically for upper and lower fragments and roots. Root and fragment extraction can require a more specialized instrument than conventional crown extraction forceps. The 69 Tomes Atlas Forceps features a working-end configuration intended to facilitate access to remaining root or fragment structure. Its thin, tapered beaks are designed to support penetration around the periodontal ligament and apical progression where clinically appropriate. This configuration helps the clinician establish a firm grasp on suitable root or fragment surfaces while maintaining controlled manipulation. A defining feature of the Atlas design is its internal spring hinge . The internal spring maintains the forceps in an open position, reducing the amount of hand manipulation required to reopen the instrument during a procedure. This design can contribute to improved comfort and control, particularly during extraction procedures requiring repeated repositioning. HuFriedyGroup also notes that the internal spring keeps the forceps open during reprocessing, which can facilitate cleaning and sterilization. The working ends are designed with thin, sharp, tapered beaks to facilitate access around root surfaces. For appropriate cases, the tapered profile can assist the clinician in advancing the instrument toward the desired engagement area. The Atlas apical-forceps design is intended to provide a firm and secure grasp of crown or root structure while supporting an atraumatic extraction approach when correctly selected and used. The 69 Tomes root forceps is suitable for dental practices, oral surgery departments, and extraction instrument sets requiring dedicated instrumentation for upper and lower root fragments. HuFriedyGroup’s forceps selection resources list the 69 Tomes Atlas forceps among its root forceps for both upper and lower applications, confirming its broad root-fragment application. Construction quality is essential for reusable dental extraction instruments. HuFriedyGroup states that Atlas Forceps are meticulously handcrafted from high-grade surgical stainless steel. This material provides the strength required for professional clinical handling while supporting corrosion resistance and long-term instrument performance when appropriate maintenance and reprocessing procedures are followed. The instrument also incorporates a laser-marked hinge , which is designed to make identification easier during cleaning and sterilization. Because the Atlas internal spring maintains the forceps in an open position, the hinge area remains accessible during reprocessing. Proper cleaning is essential for removing blood, tissue, saliva, and other biological material before sterilization. After use, the F69IS 69 Tomes Atlas Forceps should be cleaned, inspected, and sterilized according to the manufacturer’s current validated instructions. Particular attention should be given to the tapered beaks, hinge, spring mechanism, and overall alignment. The instrument should be inspected for corrosion, deformation, excessive wear, or other damage before being returned to clinical service. For dental professionals seeking a dedicated upper and lower root extraction forceps , the 69 Tomes Atlas provides a specialized combination of tapered working ends, internal spring-assisted handling, surgical stainless steel construction, and professional extraction control. It is well suited to clinical workflows involving retained roots and tooth fragments where precise engagement and controlled manipulation are required.
