Bircher Ganske Bone Holding Fcps str 20cm

Clinical Application

Bone‑holding forceps are used to grasp, manipulate and temporarily immobilize bone segments during reduction, fixation and implant placement. This straight, 20 cm configuration is suited for open orthopedic and trauma procedures where a direct line of access and controlled axial traction are required—examples include fracture reduction, provisional fixation during plating, and manipulation of small to medium bones in extremity and maxillofacial cases.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry provides a direct working axis ideal for anterior and lateral approaches, improving surgeon control when aligning fragments or holding cortical edges during screw placement. The dedicated bone‑holding jaw profile gives secure purchase on cortical surfaces and the positive locking mechanism maintains grip without continuous manual force, helping to stabilize bone while the surgeon prepares fixation or adjusts implant position. At 20 cm the instrument balances reach and tactile feedback for both superficial and moderately deep surgical fields.
