Clinical Application
Designed for use in orthopedic and trauma procedures, these Lane forceps are intended to securely grasp and manipulate bone plates during internal fixation. The instrument facilitates plate positioning, temporary stabilization while drilling or inserting screws, and fine adjustments during contouring and final seating. Common procedures include open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), fracture repair and reconstructive plate fixation in extremity and small-bone surgery.
Design & Configuration
The 18 cm length offers a balance of reach and control in the operative field, allowing the assistant or surgeon to hold plates without crowding the working area. A narrow, low-profile shaft and plate-oriented jaw geometry minimize soft-tissue interference and provide unobstructed access to screw holes. The straight configuration supports direct, tactile guidance of plates during alignment and fixation.
