Clinical Application
Used primarily in spine and orthopedic procedures, this curved pedicle clamp provides controlled capture and manipulation of vertebral pedicles, bone fragments, and implants during posterior and minimally invasive spinal approaches. The curved profile facilitates access around soft tissue and hardware, enabling secure holding when positioning pedicle screws, reducing the need for repeated instrument exchanges in confined operative corridors.
Design & Configuration
The curved geometry improves line-of-sight and reach along the pedicle trajectory compared with straight clamps, allowing the surgeon to engage bony anatomy while avoiding adjacent soft tissue. A locking clamp configuration maintains grip without continuous manual pressure, aiding in stable manipulation of small bone segments and implants during instrumentation and reduction maneuvers. The slender shaft and tip profile are intended to minimize obstruction in the operative field.
