Clinical Application
This swivel Lowman–Hoglund bone clamp is designed to provide firm temporary fixation of cortical bone fragments during reduction, provisional stabilization, drilling and plate or screw placement. The 2x2 prong jaw pattern offers focal purchase on bone surfaces, making the clamp suitable for small- to medium-sized bones encountered in orthopedic trauma, hand and wrist, foot and ankle, and certain maxillofacial procedures. Proper use reduces the need for simultaneous manual retraction and allows the surgeon to maintain alignment while preparing definitive fixation.
Design & Configuration
The pivoting (swivel) jaw allows the clamp to articulate relative to the handle so the prongs can be aligned with uneven or oblique bone surfaces without requiring excessive rotation of the instrument shaft. The 2x2 prong arrangement provides opposing points of purchase that concentrate holding force at the bone surface, improving grip while minimizing slip. The 12 cm length balances reach and tactile control in confined operative fields, facilitating use in both superficial and deeper exposures.
