Clinical Application
Provides secure purchase on cortical bone for reduction and temporary fixation during open orthopedic and trauma procedures. Ideal for holding and manipulating bone segments while preparing for definitive internal fixation (plates, screws, intramedullary devices) and for stabilizing fragments during debridement, graft placement or osteotomy. The angled jaw geometry facilitates access in confined wounds and around soft-tissue envelopes where a straight shaft would be obstructive.
Design & Configuration
Angled shaft geometry combined with swivel jaws enables the jaws to align with irregular bone surfaces without requiring awkward hand positioning, improving visibility and control in deep or narrow operative fields. The swivel action allows the jaw faces to rotate relative to the shaft axis so the biting surfaces can conform to the bone surface while the handle remains in an ergonomically favorable orientation. A locking mechanism provides sustained clamping force to maintain reduction while the surgeon applies definitive fixation.
