Description

The Scaphoid Bone Spreader – Fine Pattern is a small orthopedic instrument used to separate and hold small bones apart during hand and wrist procedures. It is particularly suited to scaphoid surgery, fracture treatment, and procedures involving the smaller joints. The compact size makes it easier to work around the limited space of the wrist without bringing a large instrument into the field.

The working end has a fine 1 x 2 prong configuration with interlocking jaws. The jaws engage the bone at two points and remain connected as the spreader is opened. The 6 mm jaw width keeps the working end relatively narrow, which is useful when the available space around the scaphoid or another small bone is limited.

A spring-loaded spreading mechanism is built into the instrument. It works with a ratcheted adjustment system, allowing the jaws to be opened gradually rather than all at once. This gives the surgeon control over how much the bones are distracted and makes it possible to maintain the selected position while working in the area.

The instrument measures 14 cm (5½”) overall. Its short length suits the smaller anatomy of the hand and wrist and keeps the spreader easy to position. The fine prongs and interlocking jaws are the main working features, while the spring and ratchet handle the opening and positioning of the instrument.

It is made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel. It is intended for repeated surgical use and routine sterilization. Proper cleaning and maintenance help preserve the mechanism, working surfaces, and resistance to corrosion.

With its 1 x 2 fine prongs, 6 mm jaws, spring-loaded ratcheted mechanism, and 14 cm (5½”) length, the Scaphoid Bone Spreader – Fine Pattern is designed for controlled distraction in small-bone surgery. It is suited to scaphoid procedures, wrist fracture management, and other hand and small-joint operations where precise spreading is required.
