ABSTRACT:
A holder retains a plurality of dental instruments used in a single dental procedure together in a separate group during cleaning and prior to sterilization. The holder includes first and second pivotally connected, opposed tong members, each formed of a handle portion and a jaw lever portion. Each jaw lever portion includes a cross arm extending laterally from the handle portion and terminating in a pair of arcuate shaped jaws at outer ends of each cross arm. The jaws in one tong member concavely oppose the jaws in the opposite tong member to form the closed opening between the jaws when the first and second tong members are moved to one of a plurality of separate closed positions. The first and second tong members are pivotally connected together and include a lock which enables the opposed jaws of each of the first and second tong members to be disposed in one of a plurality of discrete positions forming variably selectable, different sized openings between the opposed jaws to securely receive a particular number of dental instruments therebetween.
