ABSTRACT:
An improvement for medical and dental instruments of the type that include two handle legs joined by a pivoting joint. The improvement provides for opposite and cooperating curved portions that, when brought towards each other, define a gripping area capable of firmly holding a safety cap or carpule for syringe needles thereby avoiding possible injuries to the user. The internal walls of the curved portions are provided with irregularities or serrations to enhance their gripping function on the carpule. In all instruments, the separation of the curved portions to the area where a user applies the actuating force has been maximized to minimize the likelihood of accidental injury.
