VERBRUGGE Bone Holding Fcps 17.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide secure, temporary fixation of bone fragments during reduction and fixation procedures. Commonly used in orthopedic and trauma surgeries, hand and wrist procedures, and selected maxillofacial cases to hold cortical bone segments while manipulating fragments, inserting Kirschner wires, or positioning plates and screws. The instrument permits sustained clamping force to maintain alignment while the surgeon prepares definitive fixation.

Design & Configuration

The ratcheted, hand-held clamp delivers reproducible, sustained closure without continuous manual pressure, allowing the assistant or surgeon to maintain reduction while working. Interdigitating serrated jaws concentrate gripping force along small contact points to minimize slippage on cortical surfaces. The 17.5 cm length balances reach and tactile control—suitable for extremity and small-bone applications where accessibility and one-handed control are important. A box-lock pivot provides durable alignment and consistent jaw action through repeated use.
