Endo Locking Tweezer

Description

Endo Locking Tweezer is a precision dental pickup tool designed for secure, hands-free holding of small endodontic items. The reverse-action (self-locking) spring closes the tips automatically and keeps a steady grip on paper points, gutta-percha cones, cotton pellets, posts, and tiny accessories. A slim, angled nose improves sightlines into the access cavity, while the rigid stainless-steel body resists bending and cleans easily between cases.

Key features and benefits:

• Self-locking mechanism for reliable hold without constant finger pressure

• Fine, serrated tips for non-slip pickup and accurate placement

• Angled beaks that improve access and visibility in narrow fields

• Textured handle for confident control with gloves

• Stainless-steel construction that tolerates routine cleaning and steam sterilization when processed according to validated protocols

Typical uses and applications:

• Carrying paper points and gutta-percha cones to and from the canal

• Transferring cotton pellets during medication and drying steps

• Handling small posts, files, and rubber dam accessories at chairside

• Useful in endodontics, general dentistry, orthodontics, and lab work where tiny parts must be secured

Comparison guidance:

• Compared with standard (non-locking) tweezers, the reverse-action grip reduces hand fatigue and accidental drops, lowering the risk of aspiration or contamination.

• Compared with plastic pickups, the metal jaws offer better alignment, tip precision, and long service life under heat sterilization.

Care notes:

• Inspect tip alignment regularly for consistent holding force.

• Clean and sterilize according to clinic procedures to support infection-control best practices.

Choose this instrument when you want steadier placement, fewer dropped items, and faster, safer endodontic workflows.
