Clinical Application
Designed to provide secure capture and controlled manipulation of bone fragments, this straight bone-holding forceps is used during reduction, plate and screw fixation, drilling, and provisional stabilization. Its form is suitable for general orthopedics, trauma cases, craniomaxillofacial procedures and other situations where firm, atraumatic control of cortical bone is required while a definitive fixation is placed.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry gives direct axial access to bone surfaces, allowing alignment and reduction along the working axis without angulation introduced by the instrument. Interlocking bone-holding jaws concentrate grip on the cortical surface to minimize slippage during drilling or implant placement. A ratchet-lock handle enables one-handed application and maintains stable clamping force while the surgeon prepares fixation.
