Clinical Application
Designed for direct purchase and temporary stabilization of bone fragments, this Verbrugge-style bone-holding forceps is used in orthopedic and trauma procedures where controlled reduction and maintenance of alignment are required. Common applications include hand, wrist, forearm, foot and small-bone fracture fixation, as well as holding bone segments during plate positioning, drilling and screw insertion.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's beaked Verbrugge jaw geometry concentrates clamping force at the contact points to provide secure purchase of cortical bone without extensive slippage. Ratcheted handles with a box lock provide positive locking and maintain compression once the desired hold is achieved, freeing the assistant or surgeon's hand. The 27 cm length offers reach and leverage suitable for a range of procedures while remaining compact enough for fine bony work.
