Van Buren Sequestrum Fcps 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed to retrieve sequestra and small necrotic bone fragments from confined bone cavities and wound beds, this forceps is used most commonly in orthopedic debridement, chronic osteomyelitis management, trauma surgery, and selected ENT procedures where controlled removal of nonviable bone is required. The length and jaw geometry permit access into deeper defects while maintaining precise control at the tip, reducing the need for repeated instrument exchanges.

Design & Configuration

The ring-handled, ratcheting configuration provides secure, incremental locking to maintain a firm hold on irregular bone fragments during extraction. A long 23 cm shaft gives additional reach into deep cavities and sinus tracts, while the slender jaw profile minimizes disruption to surrounding soft tissue and facilitates visualization of the grasping point. This balance of length, control and narrow profile is important for working in restricted operative fields where delicate manipulation is required.
