Clinical Application
Designed to provide secure purchase on cortical bone during orthopedic and trauma procedures, these Lambotte bone-holding forceps enable controlled reduction, manipulation and temporary fixation of bone fragments. Common uses include fracture reduction during plating or intramedullary fixation, osteotomy stabilization, and holding small-to-medium bone segments during reconstructive procedures.
Design & Configuration
The Lambotte jaw geometry concentrates gripping force on a narrow footprint with serrated/toothed surfaces to minimize slippage while avoiding unnecessary bone crushing. A ratchet locking handle permits sustained clamping without continuous manual pressure, freeing the assistant's hands for instrumentation or provisional fixation. The 22 cm length provides reach and mechanical advantage for working in deeper surgical fields or when increased leverage is required.
