Dingmann Bone Holding Fcps 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide firm, controlled purchase of bone during orthopedic and trauma procedures. The instrument is used for reduction and temporary fixation of bone fragments while definitive fixation (plates, screws, or intramedullary devices) is applied. Its secure grip helps minimize slippage when manipulating small cortical fragments in extremity, hand, foot, and select maxillofacial cases.

Design & Configuration

The scissor-style profile with ring handles and integrated ratchet lock translates hand force into a stable clamping action at the jaws. The fenestrated, toothed jaw geometry concentrates contact force to resist axial and rotational movement of the bone, while the 19 cm overall length provides reach into deeper operative fields without excessive bulk at the handle. A compact box-lock pivot provides durable alignment between shanks for consistent jaw apposition through multiple uses.
