Clinical Application
Used to temporarily grasp, hold and position bone plates while preparing and inserting screws during fracture fixation and reconstructive procedures. The forceps stabilize the plate against the bone to maintain alignment during drilling, measurement and screw placement, reducing the need for a second assistant to hold the implant.
Design & Configuration
The Lane pattern provides a slim, elongated shaft that offers reach into deeper operative fields while maintaining tactile control at the jaws. A ratcheting handle allows the surgeon to lock the plate in position for hands-free work, and a precision box-lock at the articulation point delivers stable, repeatable jaw alignment. The tip geometry is configured to engage plate edges or holes without excessive compression of the implant, helping preserve plate integrity and position during fixation.
