Clinical Application
Designed to provide firm, controlled purchase on cortical bone, these Lambotte bone-holding forceps are used to reduce and temporarily stabilize bone fragments during orthopedic, trauma, hand, foot, and reconstructive procedures. The instrument holds bone segments in alignment while provisional fixation (K-wires, clamps, or plating) is placed, and is useful for manipulating small to medium-sized bony fragments during debridement, osteotomy, or open reduction.
Design & Configuration
The Lambotte pattern features fenestrated jaws that distribute clamping forces across a broader surface of cortical bone while minimizing soft-tissue entrapment. The integrated ratchet locking mechanism permits incremental closure and secure, hands-free retention of the reduction, allowing the surgeon to maintain alignment while preparing and applying definitive fixation. At 22 cm overall length, the geometry balances reach and control for use in both superficial and deeper surgical fields.
