Clinical Application
Provides secure purchase on bone for reduction, manipulation and temporary fixation during orthopedic and trauma procedures. Commonly used during fracture reduction, plate and screw fixation, small-bone and hand surgery where controlled, stable clamping of cortical bone is required.
Design & Configuration
The Lewin pattern combines slender, pointed jaws with a ratcheting lock and box-lock hinge to translate manual grip into sustained, even clamping force. The 17.5 cm length balances reach and tactile control for working in confined or deep operative fields while maintaining visibility of the working tip. Pointed or spiked jaw geometry is intended to bite cortical surfaces to resist slippage without relying on excessive compressive force.
