A Clamp with a Flare for Fragments
Consider this instrument style a staple in every small bone surgery set. With its basic design inspired by the familiar Backhaus towel clamp, the Bone Fragment Clamp offers precise and assured approximation of the delicate bones of the hand and foot. The arms have been slightly arched to assure bone clearance from almost any approach. Tiny, ring-shaped flares just 2 mm from the tips create shoulders to limit bone penetration, thus reducing the potential for bone splintering.
