Clinical Application
Designed for controlled manipulation and temporary fixation of pelvic ring fragments during reduction of pelvic fractures and related trauma cases. The oblique geometry facilitates access to the lateral and posterior pelvic elements in open or limited exposures, enabling surgeons to apply corrective compression or traction while maintaining visualization. Commonly used in acute pelvic fracture reduction, intraoperative realignment prior to definitive fixation, and as an adjunct during external fixation or open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) procedures.
Design & Configuration
The oblique shaft alignment places the working tip at an angle suited for negotiating the contours of the pelvis and obturator region without excessive soft-tissue retraction. The integrated locking feature (Sp/Lock) secures the jaws once the desired reduction is achieved, freeing the assistant and maintaining sustained compression while implants are positioned. At 19 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach into the pelvic cavity with ergonomic control at the handle for precise manipulation in confined operative fields.
