Clinical Application
Designed to grasp, reduce and maintain stable purchase on bone during orthopedic and trauma procedures. The instrument is intended for use in fracture reduction and intraoperative handling of cortical bone segments in hand, wrist, foot, and small-to-medium bone surgeries where a firm, sustained hold is required while plates, screws or other fixation devices are applied.
Design & Configuration
The Semb pattern places emphasis on a secure tip geometry and a ratcheting handle to lock grip without continuous manual force. The 19 cm length balances reach and control for both superficial and slightly deeper exposures. A robust hinge and elongated shank provide mechanical advantage for controlled reduction and manipulation of bone fragments while minimizing slippage during implant placement.
