Gerster-Lowmann Bone Holding Clamp 1x2p 22cm

Clinical Application

Provides firm, temporary purchase on cortical bone to assist with reduction, alignment and stabilization during orthopedic and trauma procedures. The 1x2 prong jaw offers a focused, positive hold on small- to medium-sized bone fragments for tasks such as plate application, fragment manipulation during open reduction, osteotomy control, and preparatory positioning prior to definitive fixation.

Design & Configuration

The 1x2 prong geometry delivers concentrated bite through two opposed prongs engaging against a single opposing prong, creating secure purchase with minimal slippage. The 22 cm length gives extended reach for deeper operative fields while maintaining tactile control at the handles. A locking mechanism holds position once reduction is achieved, freeing the assistant and enabling controlled screw or plate placement without loss of alignment.
