Fergusson Bone Holding Fcps 21cm

Clinical Application

Bone-holding forceps of Fergusson pattern are used to obtain and maintain secure purchase of bone fragments during reduction and fixation. Common applications include open fracture reduction, plate-and-screw fixation, osteotomy reduction, and temporary stabilization during implant placement. The 21 cm length provides a balance of reach and manual control suitable for extremity and general orthopaedic procedures, as well as select maxillofacial and trauma cases where a firm, controlled hold on cortical bone is required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a box-lock frame with a ratchet locking handle to maintain clamp pressure without continuous manual force. The bone-holding jaw profile is configured to provide positive engagement with cortical bone while minimizing rotational slip during manipulation and fixation. The 21 cm shaft length offers improved access in deeper wounds compared with shorter patterns, while remaining maneuverable in confined operative fields. The ratchet allows incremental closure and reliable retention of reduction during drilling and plate positioning.
