Clinical Application
Long pelvic reduction forceps with ball tips are used in orthopedic and trauma surgery to achieve and maintain reduction of pelvic ring and acetabular fragments during operative repair. The long reach allows surgeons to manipulate the hemipelvis or acetabular fragments from a distance, enabling alignment prior to definitive fixation (plates, screws, or external fixation). Ball tips provide broad, atraumatic contact on cortical bone surfaces to reduce the risk of local crushing or point pressure during reduction maneuvers.
Design & Configuration
The extended 40 cm shaft is designed to access deep pelvic anatomy and work around bulky soft tissues and dressings common in pelvic trauma cases. The ball-tip jaw geometry distributes compressive forces across a larger contact area, helping to hold reduced fragments without sharp penetration. The long, straight configuration improves reach and working angle from standard operative approaches, facilitating controlled manual reduction and temporary stabilization during fixation.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Forceps for pelvic reduction
- Length: 40 cm
- Tip / jaw: Ball tips for atraumatic bone contact
- Configuration: Long, straight shaft for deep pelvic access
- Typical use: Reduction and temporary stabilization of pelvic fractures
- Reusable construction: Designed for repeated use and sterilization
Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide strength, corrosion resistance, and durability under repeated sterilization cycles. Precision machining of the ball tips and jaws ensures stable contact with bone surfaces while minimizing burrs or irregularities that could damage tissue. The instrument is supplied as a reusable surgical tool intended for standard sterilization processes.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
