12. NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-1744-18 | Curved Jaw Bone
Reduction Forceps
Deep fracture sites can make direct fragment control difficult, especially when muscle and soft
tissue limit the available working angle. NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-1744-18 Curved Jaw Bone
Reduction Forceps provides extended reach and curved working surfaces to help the surgeon
secure bone during reduction.
The geometry of the forceps allows the jaws to approach the bone from a more accommodating
angle than a straight clamp. This can be useful when working around long-bone fractures or
other areas where direct access is restricted.
The instrument can assist with several stages of fixation:
● Bringing fracture fragments into a controlled position.
● Maintaining reduction while plates or other fixation components are positioned.
● Holding bone during drilling and related preparation steps.
● Providing temporary stabilization while the definitive construct is completed.
Its ratcheting action allows the selected grip to be maintained without continuous hand pressure.
That leaves the surgeon and assistant more freedom to concentrate on alignment and hardware
placement.
Constructed for repeated surgical use, SKU 11-1744-18 fits naturally within sets of bone surgery instruments intended for trauma and orthopedic
procedures.
A reduction forceps should always be applied with consideration for the bone surface and
surrounding soft tissues. Proper placement, appropriate force, and regular inspection of the
jaws and locking mechanism remain essential to responsible instrument use.
For fracture cases requiring reach and controlled compression, the curved-jaw configuration
provides a useful option.
