Frosch Bone Holding Fcps 18cm

Clinical Application

Provides secure temporary purchase on cortical bone during open orthopedic and trauma procedures. Commonly used for fracture reduction, holding bone segments during plate and screw placement, manipulation of small bone fragments in hand and foot surgery, and stabilization while inserting Kirschner wires or provisional fixation devices. The design facilitates controlled one-handed holding and transfer of bone segments without the need for continuous manual compression.

Design & Configuration

Classic Frosch-style bone-holding geometry pairs narrow, anatomically contoured jaws with a ratchet handle to deliver firm, adjustable clamping force while minimizing soft-tissue obstruction. The ratchet allows the surgeon to lock grip strength at multiple positions for stable temporary fixation. A robust box-lock and ergonomic ring handles provide tactile feedback and reliable control during reduction maneuvers and implant placement.
