Clinical Application
Provides firm temporary fixation and manipulation of bone segments during orthopedic, trauma and select craniofacial procedures. The pronged jaws secure cortical bone for provisional reduction, plate application, drilling and implant placement. Useful for maintaining alignment of small bone fragments and for holding bone edges steady during intraoperative adjustments and instrument exchanges.
Design & Configuration
The swivel interface permits independent rotation of the head relative to the shank, allowing the surgeon to orient the jaw position without repositioning the handles—advantageous in confined exposures or when working around implants. The 2x2 prong jaw pattern provides a balanced two-on-two bite that concentrates holding force on cortical surfaces to minimize slippage while limiting unnecessary compression of adjacent soft tissues. The 22 cm overall length offers extended reach into deeper operative fields while retaining tactile control.
