Bone Holding Forceps And Clamp
Free!
Bone holding forceps and clamps are specialized orthopedic instruments used to grip and stabilize bone fragments during fracture reduction and implant fixation. With strong, anatomically contoured jaws and secure locking mechanisms, they prevent slippage, improve alignment and give surgeons precise control at every step. Durable, autoclavable and built for demanding surgical use, they are indispensable in modern trauma and reconstructive surgery.
Description
Bone holding forceps and clamps are essential orthopedic instruments designed to firmly secure bone fragments during open reduction, internal fixation and reconstructive procedures. Their primary function is to provide a stable, controlled grip on bone so the surgeon can align fractures, position implants and insert screws without slippage. Reliable stabilization at this stage directly impacts fracture healing, anatomical accuracy and overall surgical outcomes.
Crafted from high-grade surgical stainless steel, these instruments are built for strength, corrosion resistance and repeated sterilization. The jaws are contoured or toothed to match bone surfaces and deliver a secure hold with minimal trauma. Locking mechanisms, such as ratchets or screw-lock systems, allow the surgeon to adjust and maintain consistent pressure throughout the procedure. Many patterns are available—straight, curved, pointed, serrated and self-retaining—so surgical teams can select the ideal configuration for long bones, small fragments or complex anatomical regions.
