Clinical Application
Designed to deliver reliable purchase on small bone fragments and soft tissue, these reduction forceps are used during fracture reduction and perioperative manipulation in orthopedic and trauma procedures. Pointed tips allow the surgeon to engage cortical bone or grasp periosteum and soft tissue for controlled reduction, temporary stabilization, and positioning prior to definitive fixation (plates, screws, or intramedullary devices).
Design & Configuration
The slender 20 cm shaft provides a balance of reach and tactile control in confined surgical fields. Pointed jaws concentrate clamping force to secure purchase on bone or tough soft tissue while minimizing slippage. The integrated ratchet lock permits sustained clamping without continuous manual pressure, freeing an assistant or enabling fine adjustments during hardware placement. The overall geometry reduces obstruction of the operative field and facilitates simultaneous use with reduction clamps and fixation instruments.
