Lambotte Bone Holding Fcps 27cm

Clinical Application

Designed for orthopedic procedures that require firm, reliable purchase on cortical bone, these Lambotte bone-holding forceps are used to reduce and stabilize bone fragments during open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), trauma reconstruction, and plate or screw placement. The toothed jaws resist slip under torsional and axial loads, making them useful for temporary fixation while drilling, tapping or applying implants.

Surgeons commonly use this instrument to align fragments, maintain reduction during provisional fixation, and present the bone surface for definitive fixation. Care should be taken when using on osteoporotic bone to avoid cortical crushing; teeth provide grip but can concentrate force.

Design & Configuration

The scissor-style handles with an integrated locking mechanism allow the surgeon or assistant to maintain continuous compression without sustained manual force. The opposing toothed jaws are configured to bite into cortical surfaces to prevent slipping during manipulation or instrument exchange. At 27 cm overall length, the reach supports exposure and handling in most extremity procedures and many pelvis or acetabular exposures where additional working distance is required.

Locking ratchet engagement enables incremental adjustment of grip pressure. The instrument's balanced handle geometry facilitates one-handed application and release, aiding in efficient workflow in the operative field.
