Semb Rib and Bone Holding Fcps w/ratchet 19cm

Clinical Application

Provides secure grasp and temporary stabilization of ribs and cortical bone segments during thoracic and trauma procedures. Commonly used for rib fixation, chest wall reconstruction, thoracotomy assistance and intraoperative manipulation of bone fragments when stable purchase is required while plating, reducing, or retracting bony structures. The ratchet locking mechanism allows the instrument to maintain hold without continuous manual pressure.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s Semb-style rib and bone holding jaw geometry is designed to maximize contact with curved rib surfaces and flat cortical bone while minimizing slippage. A ratchet-lock handle provides incremental locking positions for secure retention and hands-free stabilization. The 19 cm overall length offers a balance of reach and control for access in the thoracic cavity and around rib cages without excessive shaft bulk.
