Self Centering Bone Holding Fcps 26cm

Clinical Application

Self-centering bone holding forceps are used to grasp, reduce and maintain alignment of bone fragments during orthopedic and trauma procedures. By bringing and holding fragments into axial alignment, these forceps facilitate provisional fixation, plate contouring and screw placement without the need for continuous manual pressure. Typical uses include long-bone and small-bone reduction, intraoperative fragment control during open reductions, and temporary stabilization during definitive fixation.

Design & Configuration

The self-centering jaw geometry centers opposed bone segments as the tips engage, minimizing rotational misalignment and reducing the need for repeated adjustments. A locking handle secures the grip once reduction is achieved, allowing the assistant or surgeon to perform subsequent steps with both hands free. The 26 cm overall length provides reach into deeper surgical sites while preserving tactile feedback at the tips for controlled manipulation. The beak-style tips are shaped to maximize purchase on cortical surfaces while minimizing slippage during clamp application.
