Clinical Application
Designed to provide secure purchase on cortical bone for temporary reduction, manipulation and stabilization, this 14 cm bone-holding forceps is used across orthopedic and trauma procedures including hand, wrist, foot, small long-bone and maxillofacial work. The instrument permits controlled apposition of fragments during reduction, drilling and screw or plate placement, and can serve as a temporary intraoperative clamp while definitive fixation is applied.
Design & Configuration
The compact 14 cm profile balances access and leverage in confined operative fields. Ratcheting, locking handles allow the surgeon to maintain a consistent grip without continuous manual pressure; the interlocking hinge provides durable alignment of the jaws under load. Narrow, bone-engaging jaw geometry concentrates holding force at the cortex to resist rotation and translation of fragments while minimizing soft-tissue obstruction around the surgical site.
