Clinical Application
Straight bone-holding forceps designed to provide secure temporary fixation and reduction of bone fragments during orthopedic, trauma, hand, and maxillofacial procedures. The instrument is used to grasp cortical bone for manipulation, alignment, and stabilization while preparing for definitive fixation with plates, screws or external fixation devices. Its straight geometry is well suited for anterior and easily accessible cortical surfaces and for transferring controlled compression across a fracture site.
Design & Configuration
The straight, beak-style jaw profile concentrates purchase on cortical surfaces to minimize slippage while permitting precise control during reduction. A ratchet-style locking handle provides sustained grip without continuous manual force, allowing the surgeon to maintain reduction while performing drilling, measurement, or implant placement. The straight shaft offers a low-profile approach for direct access to bone without the curvature that can obstruct line-of-sight in many common procedures.
