Self Centering Bone Holding Fcps 15cm

Clinical Application

Self-centering bone holding forceps provide controlled, symmetrical compression to reduce and temporarily stabilize bone fragments during orthopedic and trauma procedures. At 15 cm overall length, this size is commonly used for small- to medium-sized bones—hand, wrist, forearm and certain foot or metatarsal applications—where precise alignment is required prior to definitive fixation (plates, screws or K-wires). The instrument frees an assistant’s hands by maintaining reduction while drilling, measuring and applying implants.

Design & Configuration

The self-centering geometry aligns opposing jaws so compression is applied evenly across fragments, minimizing rotation or shear that can occur with asymmetric gripping. A ratcheting locking handle secures the reduction and maintains consistent force during implant placement. The 15 cm length balances reach and tactile control for working in confined surgical fields while keeping the holding point close to the operative site for accurate manipulation.
