Burns Bone Holding Fcps 18.5cm

Clinical Application

Provides secure temporary fixation and controlled manipulation of bone fragments during open orthopedic, trauma, hand and maxillofacial procedures. The mid-length 18.5 cm profile balances reach and tactile control, making it suitable for both superficial exposures and slightly deeper operative fields. Common uses include maintaining reduction during plate or screw application, assisting fragment alignment, and stabilizing small bone segments while definitive fixation is applied.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a ratchet-locking handle that allows the surgeon to maintain consistent grip force without continuous manual pressure, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged reductions. Short, robust toothed jaws concentrate holding force on cortical surfaces to minimize slippage under torque. The 18.5 cm shaft provides a practical compromise between leverage and access in confined surgical corridors.
