Clinical Application
Oblique pelvic reduction forceps are used by orthopedic and trauma surgeons to capture, manipulate, and maintain reduction of pelvic bone fragments during open or limited-exposure procedures. The oblique jaw orientation facilitates access around the curved anatomy of the pelvis (ilium, pubic rami, and acetabular margins), enabling controlled compression and temporary stabilization while definitive fixation (plates, screws, or external fixation) is applied. The instrument is useful for reducing displaced fractures, aligning fragments for hardware placement, and holding reduction during intraoperative imaging.
Design & Configuration
The oblique jaw geometry is designed to conform to pelvic contours, allowing the surgeon to approach fragment surfaces at an angle that improves grip and reduces the need for awkward hand positions. A spring-lock mechanism permits secure engagement without continuous manual pressure, freeing the assistant or surgeon to proceed with fixation. At 23 cm overall length the forceps balance reach into the pelvic cavity with tactile control at the handle for precise reduction maneuvers.
