18. NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-1010-20 | Farabeuf Pattern
Bone Holding Forceps
A large fracture fragment can be difficult to control with a small clamp, particularly when the
bone needs to remain stable while fixation hardware is positioned. NextEdge Surgical SKU
11-1010-20 Farabeuf Pattern Bone Holding Forceps provides a broader gripping configuration
for holding suitable bone surfaces during reduction.
The Farabeuf pattern is useful when the surgical team needs a firm mechanical hold rather than
delicate tissue grasping. Its forceps design allows the operator to position the jaws around the
bone and maintain the selected grip while other fixation steps are performed.
In practical terms, the instrument can help with:
● Holding larger bone fragments during reduction.
● Maintaining position while plates are aligned.
● Stabilizing the bone during drilling and screw placement.
● Reducing the need for continuous manual holding.
The serrated working surfaces assist with maintaining purchase on the bone, while the locking
action keeps the handles in their selected position. This is particularly useful when the surgeon
needs both hands available for another part of the procedure.
SKU 11-1010-20 can form part of a fracture fixation collection containing bone surgery instruments such as reduction forceps, clamps,
retractors, and plating tools.
The instrument should be checked before use for jaw alignment, hinge movement, and locking
function. As with other reusable surgical forceps, cleaning and sterilization should follow the
healthcare facility’s validated processing requirements.
For orthopedic trauma sets requiring dependable fragment control, the Farabeuf pattern offers a
useful holding solution.
Keep SKU 11-1010-20 available for demanding reduction procedures.
