Description

The Bone Repositioning Forceps with K-Wire Guide are designed to hold and align bone fragments while also helping with Kirschner wire placement during fracture fixation. They can be used in trauma, hand, foot, and small bone procedures where maintaining the reduction during fixation is important. Combining these functions in one instrument keeps the working area less crowded during the procedure.

The forceps have reduction jaws with an integrated wire-guiding system. Once the bone fragments are brought into the required position, the guide directs the Kirschner wire toward the selected entry point. Models are available for 0.9 mm, 1.2 mm, and 1.6 mm K-wires, giving a choice of guide size for different fixation requirements.

The reduction is maintained through a ratcheted locking mechanism built into the ring handles. After the jaws have been positioned around the fragments, the ratchet can hold the selected grip without continuous pressure from the user. This allows the reduction to remain in place while the K-wire is introduced through the guide.

At 14 cm (5½”) overall, the forceps have a compact profile for work around the smaller bones of the hand and foot. The ring handles provide a familiar grip, while the relatively short length makes the instrument easy to position when working within a confined operative field. The integrated guide also keeps the wire positioned in relation to the reduction jaws.

The instrument is intended for repeated surgical use, with the reduction jaws, wire guide, handle movement, and ratchet checked during quality control. These inspections help ensure that the forceps are supplied in proper working condition and that the locking mechanism operates as intended.

Made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the forceps are suitable for the routine cleaning, sterilization, and maintenance associated with reusable surgical instruments. Proper care helps preserve the working surfaces and smooth operation of the mechanism.

By combining fragment reduction with K-wire guidance, the Bone Repositioning Forceps with K-Wire Guide provide a compact solution for maintaining alignment during fixation. The available 0.9 mm, 1.2 mm, and 1.6 mm guide options allow the instrument to be matched to different small bone fixation procedures.
