The Evans Modified Fukuda Type Retractor Narrow 1″ Blade Width Orthopedic Instrument is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument designed for controlled handling, alignment, and stabilization of bone fragments during fracture management and reconstructive procedures. Its extended 10-inch length provides practical working reach while helping the surgeon maintain a controlled grip on the targeted bone.
The integrated Speed Lock mechanism is designed to assist with maintaining the forceps in a selected position during bone reduction. This can be particularly useful when temporary stabilization is required while preparing for definitive fixation with plates, screws, or other orthopedic implants.
The forceps are suitable for a range of orthopedic applications where accurate manipulation of bone fragments is required. They may be used during fracture reduction, orthopedic trauma procedures, bone reconstruction, and preparation for internal fixation. The design allows the instrument to be positioned around compatible bone structures and used to help bring fragments into the desired alignment.
Manufactured for operating-room use, this type of bone reduction forceps is commonly produced from surgical-grade stainless steel, providing durability and resistance to corrosion when properly maintained. The working surfaces should be precisely finished to support reliable handling and controlled contact with bone.
The 10-inch configuration can be useful when additional reach is needed within the surgical field. The Speed Lock feature can also help reduce the need for continuous manual pressure once the desired position has been established, depending on the specific instrument design and surgical technique.
For reusable instruments, cleaning, inspection, lubrication where applicable, packaging, and sterilization should always be performed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s established reprocessing protocols.
