Description

The Frosch Bone Holding Forceps are used to grasp and hold bone fragments during fracture reduction and reconstructive procedures. They are commonly used in orthopedic trauma surgery when a piece of bone needs to be kept steady while it is being aligned or prepared for fixation. The forceps are made for situations where a firm hold is needed during manipulation.

The working end has robust toothed and serrated jaws. The teeth engage the cortical surface of the bone and help keep the fragment from slipping as it is moved. The gripping pattern is fairly pronounced, making the forceps suitable when the bone needs to be held securely during reduction or when some traction or rotational movement is involved.

A spring-loaded handle controls the jaws. This allows the forceps to be applied and released without a locking ratchet. The spring action also gives the user a direct feel while adjusting the grip, which can be useful when the position of a fragment needs to be changed several times during a procedure.

The overall length is 18 cm (7″). This gives the forceps a useful amount of reach while keeping them manageable in the hand. There is enough length for routine bone handling without making the instrument unnecessarily large, and the jaw design provides the firm grip needed for fracture manipulation.

The instrument is checked for its general finish and operation before being supplied. Particular attention is given to the condition and alignment of the jaws, as well as the movement of the spring-loaded handle, so the forceps arrive ready for use.

Made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the forceps are suitable for the routine cleaning, sterilization, and maintenance required for reusable surgical instruments. Proper care helps maintain the condition of the serrated jaws and spring mechanism over repeated use.

With its strong toothed jaws, spring-loaded handle, and 18 cm length, the Frosch Bone Holding Forceps are suited to orthopedic procedures where bone fragments need to be held firmly during reduction, manipulation, and fixation.
