Stokes RubberDam Clamp Forceps by Rio Instruments is an essential isolation instrument in endodontics, pediatric dentistry, and restorative procedures. Achieving effective moisture control depends on the precise placement of rubber dam clamps around anchor teeth. The Stoke forceps allows clinicians to engage clamp bow holes securely, spread the clamp jaws under controlled spring tension, and position the clamp over the cervical margin of the tooth without slippage or tissue trauma.
Stokes RubberDam Clamp Forcep
Crafted to meet rigorous clinical standards, the Stoke design is distinguished by its integrated sliding lock ring (position retainer) situated along the shank. When a rubber dam clamp is expanded, the operator slides the lock ring forward to hold the forceps in a fixed, open state. This hands-free tension lock allows the dental practitioner or assistant to maneuver the clamp and rubber dam sheet simultaneously without maintaining constant hand pressure.
The working tips feature precision-machined spherical notches engineered to fit universally into the forceps holes of standard molar, premolar, and anterior rubber dam clamps. This anti-twist engagement prevents the clamp from slipping off or rotating unexpectedly while crossing the interproximal contact points or tooth crown.
Clinical Leverage & Ergonomic Control
Featuring an overall length optimized for posterior reach, the Stoke Rubber Dam Clamp Forceps provides excellent line-of-sight visibility into the oral cavity. Its ergonomically curved handles are equipped with a smooth double-leaf spring mechanism that provides comfortable tactile resistance and automatically resets the handles after release. The textured handle grips ensure a firm, non-slip hold even when operating with wet latex or nitrile gloves.
Passivation & Infection Control
Every
Stoke Rubber Dam Clamp Forcep manufactured by Rio Instruments undergoes a thorough passivation treatment to remove surface impurities and forge a durable chromium oxide protective barrier. This process renders the surgical stainless steel highly resistant to chemical corrosion, pitting, and thermal discoloration. The instrument is fully certified for repeated sterilization in steam autoclaves, ultrasonic cleaners, and chemical washer-disinfectors without loss of structural alignment or joint tension.
Key Features & Clinical Benefits
Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel: High-tensile stainless steel alloy guarantees maximum structural rigidity, joint integrity, and long-term wear resistance.
Sliding Position Lock Ring: Integrated sliding lock ring retains expanded clamp tension for hands-free positioning and stress-free alignment.
Universal Notched Working Tips: Precision-engineered tips seat firmly into all standard rubber dam clamp holes, preventing clamp rotation or slipping.
Smooth Spring-Action Handles: Double-leaf spring handle mechanism provides fluid mechanical feedback and reduces hand strain during multi-clamp placements.
Passivated Anti-Glare Finish: Satin finish eliminates light reflection under operating lamps while protecting against chemical staining and rust.
Tissue-Safe Design: Carefully angled shanks prevent impingement on adjacent soft tissues, lips, and cheeks during tooth engagement.
Fully Autoclavable: Certified for standard steam autoclave sterilization at 134°C (273°F) without mechanical degradation.
