Farabeuf Lambotte Bone Holding Forceps

Farabeuf Lambotte Bone Holding Forceps (26cm) for stable trauma care

In orthopedic and trauma surgery, the surgeon's ability to stabilize bone fragments during fixation is the only thing that matters for a successful fracture reduction. The Farabeuf Lambotte Bone Holding Forceps (26cm) is a strong tool that can hold large bones like the femur, tibia, or humerus with a high-tensile grip and adjustable reach.

Made for the best grip and control

These forceps are 26 cm (10.25 in) long and are made for surgeries that need deep access and a lot of leverage. Orthopedic surgeons love the Farabeuf Lambotte design because it has some unique mechanical benefits:

Adjustable Jaw Mechanism: The Farabeuf Lambotte has an adjustable jaw that can be opened to fit bones of different sizes, unlike regular fixed-hinge forceps. This makes it a very useful tool for patients of all sizes.

Deeply serrated interlocking jaws: The jaws have many tooth-like projections that "bite" securely into the surface of the bone. This keeps the bone from moving or rotating at important times, like when drilling, plating, or putting in K-wires.

Reliable Ratchet Lock: The ratchet handle can be set to different positions, so the surgeon can lock the forceps at a certain pressure. This "self-retaining" feature keeps the bone in place once it has been reduced (aligned) so that the surgical team can focus on permanent fixation without having to hold the forceps.

Building with high performance

These forceps are made from high-quality surgical stainless steel, which makes them strong enough to handle the heavy mechanical stress of orthopedic surgery.

High Tensile Strength: The thick shanks and strong handles are made to apply a lot of compressive force without bending or losing alignment.

Corrosion Resistance: The medical-grade steel is passivated and polished so that it doesn't rust or break down, even when it is often exposed to salt water and high heat for sterilization.

One-Handed Operation: The ratchet and handle are designed to be comfortable to hold and easy to use with one hand, which makes surgery more efficient.

Important Clinical Uses

The Farabeuf Lambotte Bone Holding Forceps are an important part of any orthopedic tray. They are mostly used for:

Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF): Putting a surgical plate in place while keeping bone pieces perfectly aligned.

Fracture Realignment: Keeping long bone fractures stable while they are being manually reduced.

Bone Rotation: Giving the right amount of leverage to move or rotate heavy bone pieces during complicated reconstructive surgeries.

Trauma Surgery: Quickly stabilizing broken bones in an emergency so they can be stabilized.

Taking care of and maintaining

Cleaning is very important because the teeth fit together in a complicated way, and the sliding mechanism can be adjusted. To make sure that all biological debris is gone from the jaw crevices, it is best to use an ultrasonic cleaner. The instrument can be fully autoclaved, and it should be lubricated regularly at the joint and ratchet to make sure it works smoothly and reliably in the OR.
