Patella Holding Fcps 18.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in open knee procedures, this patella-holding instrument provides secure purchase on the patella to aid reduction, temporary stabilization and positional control during exposure, fixation or component placement. Typical indications include total knee arthroplasty, patellar fracture reduction and repair, patellar realignment procedures, and any intraoperative step that requires controlled manipulation of the patella while performing anterior knee work.

Design & Configuration

The hand-held bone-holding configuration concentrates clamping force at the jaws to engage cortical bone and resist torsional or translational slippage during manipulation. At 18.5 cm overall length the instrument offers balance between reach into the joint space and tactile control at the handles, enabling precise reduction and one-handed positioning while the surgeon or assistant performs fixation or inspection. A locking or clamping mechanism maintains grip during intermittent work, reducing the need for continuous manual force.
