Clinical Application
Designed to provide a secure temporary grip on cortical bone during open orthopedic and trauma procedures. Common uses include reduction and stabilization of long-bone and periarticular fractures, manipulation of bone fragments during internal fixation, and temporary retention of bone segments while implants (plates, screws, wires) are positioned. The ratchet mechanism permits sustained clamping without continuous manual force, allowing the surgeon or assistant to maintain stable alignment during fixation.
Design & Configuration
The hand-held geometry with ratcheting handles provides controlled closing force and a locked position that resists slippage under traction or torsional loads encountered during reduction. The jaw profile is shaped to engage cortical surfaces securely while minimizing crushing motion by enabling point-to-point purchase. The 33 cm overall length gives reach and mechanical advantage for deeper wounds and larger anatomy while allowing tactile feedback at the handles for fine adjustments.
