Clinical Application
Designed to stabilize small bone fragments and to hold thin fixation plates during hand and finger procedures. These forceps provide temporary fixation and manipulation of phalangeal bone segments and finger plates while the surgeon positions screws or confirms reduction. They are useful in orthopedic hand trauma, reconstructive procedures, and any case requiring precise handling of finger plates and small implants.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features a locking ratchet that maintains secure purchase on the plate or bone without continuous manual pressure, freeing the surgeon to drill or place screws. Narrow shaft and precision-aligned jaws reduce soft-tissue interference and improve visibility in the confined surgical field of the digits. Jaw geometry is arranged to engage finger plates securely while minimizing slippage and localized crushing of bone.
