Description

The Langenbeck Bone Holding Forceps are used to hold and manipulate bone fragments during orthopedic and trauma procedures. They are especially useful during fracture reduction and fixation, when a piece of bone needs to stay in position while alignment is checked or fixation is carried out. The 20 cm length also makes the forceps suitable for working on areas that are not immediately at the surface.

At the working end are narrow 5 mm toothed jaws. The opposing teeth grip the cortical surface of the bone and help keep the fragment from moving while it is being handled. The jaws are narrow rather than broad, so they can be placed around a particular section of bone without taking up too much room. This is useful when dealing with fracture fragments or long bones that need to be held securely during reduction.

Instead of a locking ratchet, the instrument uses a spring handle. The jaws can be opened, positioned, and released with the movement of the handles. This gives the user a quick way to apply or remove the grip during the procedure and keeps the operation of the forceps fairly simple.

The overall length is 20 cm (8″). It gives the instrument enough reach for deeper working areas while still being easy to control by hand. The combination of the longer shaft and narrow toothed jaws makes it useful when a firm grip is needed without using a much larger bone-holding instrument.

Before supply, the forceps are checked for their general finish and working condition. The teeth, jaw alignment, and spring action are inspected to make sure the instrument operates properly.

Made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the forceps are intended for repeated use with routine cleaning and sterilization. Proper maintenance helps keep the toothed jaws and spring mechanism in good condition.

For fracture work requiring a narrow, firm grip, the Langenbeck Bone Holding Forceps offer a simple combination of 5 mm toothed jaws, spring action, and a 20 cm working length.
