GMX 17 - Cowhorn Convergent Lower Molars

GMX 17 Cowhorn forcep is used to extract 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd (if accessible) lower molars with convergent roots.  Dr. Richard Golden finds that the GMX 17 Cowhorn is also a great extraction instrument to have in your armamentaria for lower molars. There are certain instances where the cowhorn can be a very effective instrument.  When the tooth has less than a 20 degree angle of mesial drift (natural tendency of teeth to drift towards the front) and the tooth crown is not fractured or greatly decayed the cowhorn can be used.  Based on Dr. Golden's clinical studies of various cowhorns for a number of years it was determined that this instrument could be further improved.  The beaks of the GMX 17 have been modified to allow the beaks better access or ability to be placed.  Additionally, the handles have been designed in a manner that allows for practical placement in your hands.
