Lambotte Bone Holding Fcps w/Ratchets 33cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure temporary fixation and manipulation of cortical bone during open reduction and internal fixation, the instrument is used to grasp and hold bone fragments, control alignment during plating or intramedullary procedures, and maintain reduction while implants are placed. Common applications include orthopaedic trauma, reconstructive osteotomies, and procedures requiring firm bone purchase without repeated manual compression.

Design & Configuration

The Lambotte pattern provides a broad, form-fitting jaw geometry that distributes clamping pressure across the bone surface to minimize focal crushing while maintaining a secure hold. The integrated ratchet lock permits progressive closure and hands-free retention of position, improving control during reduction and fixation steps. At 33 cm overall length, the instrument offers extended reach into deeper surgical fields while a relatively slim shaft reduces soft-tissue interference and improves visualization at the operative site.
