Figure 151 is the mandibular universal pattern: the beaks close on the lower incisors, canines, premolars and roots, where the other figures in this listing are shaped for other positions.
A hinged, plier-type instrument that grips a tooth by its crown or root so it can be loosened and lifted from the socket. Each pattern is built for one tooth position rather than being general-purpose: beak width, beak angle, and whether the two beaks match or one is pointed and one bifurcated, all change with the tooth the pattern is made for. Handle angle also differs by arch, straight for the upper jaw, bent at the shank for the lower jaw.

How it is built
- Two arms pivoted at a hinge near the beak end, no ratchet or box-lock
- Beak form set by tooth type: narrow, near-parallel beaks for anterior teeth and premolars; one pointed beak and one bifurcated (split) beak on molar patterns, positioned either side of the root furcation
- Handle straight on upper (maxillary) patterns; bent at the shank, close to 90 degrees on some lower (mandibular) patterns, to match jaw anatomy
- Handle surface serrated or knurled for grip; inner beak face smooth or lightly serrated
- Bayonet or bird-beak handle style sold as a non-tooth-specific universal pattern
- Made in adult sizes and in reduced-beak sizes for primary (child) dentition

Material and quality
| Line | Steel | Origin | Finish | Inspection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy line | AISI 410 | Pakistani or Taiwanese | satin, passivated | sample: visual + dimensional |
| Clinical line | AISI 420 | Pakistani or German | satin, passivated | sample + boil test |
| Premium line | AISI 420-440C | German or Japanese | fine polish, passivated | tighter sample + hardness test |
| Executive line | AISI 440C | German or Japanese | mirror polish, passivated | 100% inspection + laser mark |
This is the steel each line is made from as standard. A different origin can be supplied on request (a lower grade in Japanese steel, for example), agreed on your order.
Premium is the line where the choice is yours: 420 or 440C, agreed on your order. Economy is always 410 and Executive is always 440C. Those three are the instrument steels. Hollowware and sterilization containers are made in AISI 202 on a Clinical order and AISI 304 on a Premium or Executive one, and they are not offered in the Economy line at all, which is the section above.
True of every order
Instruments are marked to the buyer's requirement (TGI, unmarked, or the buyer's own brand), agreed on the order.
Customized packaging is part of what TGI supplies. Your own printed boxes, your labels, your brand on the pack, or plain export packing, whichever your market needs. The packing for your order is agreed with you and confirmed on the order.
Manufactured under the quality management system covered by TGI's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certificates. Certificate numbers and the issuer's registry are on the certification page. Open the certificates
Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.
TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.
One-year guarantee on Premium and Executive tier instruments, hollowware and sterilization containers: any technical manufacturing defect, including material faults and rust, is replaced free of charge. Damage from handling or accidents is not covered. The year runs from the day the goods leave Sialkot.
If something is wrong with a delivery (a manufacturing defect, or a short or wrong article), tell us on WhatsApp within 7 days of delivery, with a video and photographs of what arrived. Replacement instruments are sent free of charge and dispatched within 24 hours of us seeing them; you pay the shipping, and they reach you as a normal order does.
Damage that happened after the goods left Sialkot is a claim against your carrier. The video of your parcel at the shipping office is sent to you before shipment and is the evidence that claim needs.
