Clinical Application
Designed to provide firm, controlled purchase on bone during reduction and temporary fixation, this Verbrugge-style bone-holding forceps is used in orthopedic and trauma procedures where precise manipulation of small- to medium-sized bone fragments is required. Typical applications include fracture reduction, hand and wrist surgery, foot and ankle procedures, osteotomy stabilization, and temporary fixation during plate or screw placement.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's ratcheting lock delivers adjustable, sustained clamping force so a surgeon or assistant can maintain reduction hands-free while fixation is performed. Tapered, fenestrated beaks concentrate holding force at the contact point while fenestrations reduce weight and improve visualization of the surgical field. The long 25 cm length provides extended reach into deep or narrow operative sites without excessive bulk at the handles, aiding access in confined anatomy.
