Clinical Application
Designed for intraoperative stabilization of bone fragments, these Lambotte-style bone holding forceps provide temporary fixation during reduction, plate application, drilling and screw placement. Commonly used in general orthopedics, trauma, hand and foot procedures where precise control of small to medium-sized bone segments is required. The instrument permits secure single-handed stabilization to facilitate accurate alignment and minimize the need for additional assistants during fixation steps.
Design & Configuration
The narrow, interlocking jaw geometry concentrates clamping force on the cortical surface to produce a firm, slip-resistant purchase on bone. A ratchet-style handle locks the jaws at the desired tension, maintaining reduction without continuous manual force. At 26 cm overall length the instrument provides extended reach into deep wounds while preserving tactile feedback for controlled manipulation—useful in confined or deeper operative fields where access is limited.
