Self Centering Bone Holding Fcps 19cm

Clinical Application

Self-centering bone holding forceps are used to grasp, align and temporarily stabilize bone fragments during reduction and fixation procedures. They are commonly used in general orthopedics, trauma, hand and wrist, and maxillofacial procedures where controlled purchase on cortical bone is required while screws, plates or intramedullary devices are applied. The self-centering geometry helps maintain axial alignment of fragments and resists rotational displacement during instrumentation.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's self-centering jaw design centers the opposing bone edges as the handles are approximated, producing symmetric compression across the contact surface. A locking handle (ratchet-style) permits sustained, hands-free fixation while the surgeon prepares fixation hardware. The 19 cm length offers a balance of reach and control for periarticular and diaphyseal applications; the shaft length provides access into deeper surgical corridors without excessive bulk at the handpiece.

Instrument Specifications
