Key Features and Function

Primary Purpose
These forceps are specifically engineered to securely grasp and expand TOR VM Spring Clips (clamp rings) used in posterior Class II composite restorations. They allow the clinician to safely separate the teeth and position the clip around the saddle or sectional matrix with full control and precision.

Ergonomics and Design

Angled Working Ends
The working tips of the forceps are designed with precise angles and special indentations that engage perfectly with the holes or grasping points on the TOR VM spring clips. This ensures a stable, non-slip grip during clip expansion.

Precision Tips
The tips are strong yet finely shaped, allowing easy access even in tight interproximal and posterior spaces, where visibility and maneuverability are limited.

Ratcheting Mechanism (Optional)
Some versions of the forceps include a locking or ratcheting mechanism. This feature allows the clip to remain in an expanded position while the operator accurately positions the matrix and ring before controlled release.

Material and Sterilization

Material
The forceps are manufactured from high-quality medical-grade stainless steel, providing excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical reliability.

Sterilization
They are fully suitable for repeated steam sterilization (autoclaving) without compromising structural integrity or performance.

Model Specificity (1.099-2)

The 1.099-2 model designation refers to a design specifically optimized for the size, geometry, and tension of standard TOR VM matrix clamps. This ensures reliable engagement, controlled expansion, and predictable separation force during clinical use.
