Clinical Application
Designed to provide secure temporary fixation of small to medium bone fragments during reduction, plating, osteotomy and other open procedures. The jaw geometry allows controlled traction and stabilization while the locking handle permits hands-free maintenance of position during drilling, screw placement and soft-tissue closure. Commonly used in orthopedic trauma, hand surgery, maxillofacial reconstruction and general surgical procedures requiring direct bone manipulation.
Design & Configuration
The Farabeuf-style geometry features opposing gripping surfaces that distribute contact force across the bone fragment for reliable purchase without excessive cutting in soft tissue. The 23 cm working length offers a balance of reach and manual control for most open approaches, while a ratchet lock secures the clamp position to free the surgeon’s hands. The flat, compact jaws and slim profile improve access in narrow exposures and facilitate placement near plates and implants.
