Lane Bone Holding Fcps 33cm

Clinical Application

Lane bone-holding forceps are used to obtain a secure, temporary purchase on cortical bone and bone fragments during orthopedic and trauma procedures. Common applications include reduction and manipulation of long-bone fragments, provisional maintenance of alignment during fixation, bone graft handling, and exposure/stabilization tasks in hand, wrist, foot, and general orthopedic surgery. The instrument is intended to hold bone while definitive hardware (plates, screws, or intramedullary devices) is positioned.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 33 cm length provides extended reach for deeper exposures and the ability to control fragments without the assistant’s hand encroaching on the operative field. Interlocking toothed jaws concentrate holding force at discrete contact points to minimize slippage on cortical bone, while the ratcheting locking handle maintains sustained compression without continuous manual pressure. This configuration facilitates stable provisional fixation and precise manipulation during reduction and hardware placement. Care should be taken to avoid overcompression of small or osteoporotic fragments—these instruments are for temporary stabilization, not permanent fixation.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Bone holding forceps (Lane pattern)
• Length: 33 cm
• Configuration: Ratcheting locking handles for sustained grip
• Tip/jaw: Bone-holding interlocking teeth/spikes for positive purchase
• Typical use: Grasping and temporary stabilization of cortical bone and fragments in orthopedic and trauma surgery

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to withstand repeated sterilization cycles. Jaws are precision-formed to provide consistent interlocking contact points for reliable purchase on cortical bone. The ratchet mechanism is engineered for repeatable locking and release during intraoperative use. Reusable construction suitable for standard steam sterilization protocols.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
