Clinical Application
Designed to provide firm, controlled purchase on bone fragments and small osseous segments during open orthopedic and trauma procedures. Common uses include reduction and temporary stabilization of long-bone or small-bone fractures, positioning during plate or intramedullary fixation, and holding bone while drilling or manipulating hardware. The angled jaw configuration helps maintain access and visibility in confined operative fields.
Design & Configuration
The angled shaft and swiveling jaw assembly permit the operator to engage bony surfaces at variable orientations without moving the instrument shaft. Swivel jaws conform to irregular cortical contours, improving contact area and reducing the need for repetitive repositioning. The 19 cm length balances working reach with tactile control, making the instrument suitable for both superficial and moderately deep open exposures.
