Clinical Application
Bone-holding forceps in the Lambotte pattern are used to grasp, manipulate and provisionally stabilize bone fragments during orthopedic and trauma procedures. The instrument provides secure purchase on cortical surfaces to aid reduction, plate application, and temporary fixation while screws or other definitive fixation devices are placed. The 26 cm length offers a balance of reach and control for procedures involving extremities and periarticular exposures.
Design & Configuration
The Lambotte jaw geometry is engineered to provide a firm, atraumatic grip on bone with minimized slippage during manipulation. The integrated ratchet locking mechanism permits sustained, hands-free retention of fragment alignment at progressive clamping positions and enables controlled release when adjustments are required. The elongated shaft provides improved access to deeper surgical sites while preserving tactile feedback for fine adjustments.
