Clinical Application
Curved Bircher‑Ganske bone holding forceps provide secure purchase on cortical bone to aid reduction, provisional fixation and manipulation of bone fragments. Commonly used in orthopedic and trauma procedures, as well as maxillofacial and hand surgery, they are useful during fracture reduction, plate positioning and osteotomy work where controlled, stable holding of bone is required.
Design & Configuration
The curved jaw geometry follows anatomical contours and improves access in deep or confined surgical sites. A bone‑holding jaw profile is intended to maximize grip and minimize slippage on cortical surfaces while maintaining visibility of the surgical field. The instrument’s locking handle enables the surgeon to maintain stable compression on bone segments without continuous manual force, facilitating bimanual work such as plate application or fixation.
