Bone Holding Reduction Forceps – Curved Teeth 5.5″ Slim Pattern | B Med Orthopedic Instrument

Precision Reduction for Small Bone Surgery

The Surgiportal Bone Holding Reduction Forceps are an essential tool for orthopedic surgeons specializing in hand, foot, and pediatric trauma. The Slim Pattern is specifically engineered to navigate narrow operative corridors where standard reduction forceps would be too bulky. This allows for precise manipulation of fractures in the metacarpals, metatarsals, and distal radius with a significantly reduced surgical footprint.

Advanced Grip with Curved Teeth

Stability during fixation is critical to successful osteosynthesis. Our reduction forceps feature:

• Curved, Sharp Teeth: The distal jaws are lined with precision-milled curved teeth that “bite” into the cortex of the bone. This ensures a non-slip grip, even on wet or smooth bone surfaces, preventing the rotation of fragments during the placement of K-wires or screws.

• Optimal Jaw Geometry: The curvature of the teeth is designed to distribute pressure evenly, reducing the risk of localized bone crushing while providing maximum retentive force.

Ergonomic Slim Profile

The lightweight, 5.5-inch frame is designed for maximum tactile feedback. The slender shanks allow the surgeon to maintain a clear line of sight to the fracture line, which is vital when verifying anatomical reduction. The integrated ratchet locking mechanism allows the forceps to be locked at varying degrees of tension, holding the bone fragments securely in place and freeing the surgeon’s hands for hardware installation.

OR-Grade Durability and Craftsmanship

Forged from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, these forceps are built for the rigorous environment of the orthopedic operating room. The material is highly resistant to corrosion and mechanical stress. Fully autoclavable and reusable, the Surgiportal Slim Pattern Forceps maintain their sharpness and mechanical alignment through repeated heavy-duty use and sterilization cycles.

Features & Benefits

• Slim Pattern Design: Ideal for small bone fractures and procedures in restricted anatomical spaces.

• Polished Finish: Supports thorough cleaning and prevents the buildup of surgical debris.

• Fully Autoclavable: Engineered for standard high-temperature steam sterilization.

Technical Specifications

FAQs

1. Is this instrument suitable for large bone fractures like the femur?

No. This slim pattern 5.5-inch version is specifically designed for small bones (hand, foot, wrist). For larger long-bone fractures, we recommend the Surgiportal heavy-duty Verbrugge or Lane reduction forceps.

2. How do I ensure the teeth stay sharp?

Avoid using the forceps on hardened steel hardware like pins or plates, as this can dull the teeth. Clean the teeth with a nylon brush after every use to ensure no bone or tissue debris is trapped, which could lead to corrosion during autoclaving.

3. Does the ratchet lock securely?

Yes. The multi-step ratchet is precision-milled to ensure it holds tension reliably under the mechanical loads encountered during fracture reduction.
