Clinical Application
Bone holding forceps with angled swivel jaws provide secure capture and controlled manipulation of bone fragments during reduction and temporary fixation. Their design supports use in orthopedics, trauma surgery, hand and wrist procedures, and maxillofacial operations where precise alignment of cortical surfaces is required. The 26 cm length offers reach into deeper surgical sites while maintaining tactile feedback for delicate adjustments.
Design & Configuration
The angled jaws orient the bite to the plane of the bone, improving access in confined or oblique approaches. The swivel jaw articulation allows the biting surfaces to rotate to conform with irregular anatomy and to maintain contact without torqueing surrounding soft tissue. A robust locking mechanism typical of bone-holding forceps secures the reduced position to free the surgeon’s hands for fixation steps.
