Description

Tessier Bone Bending Forceps, Angled, 21 cm

Reconstructive cases sometimes call for bone that has to be shaped rather than cut. Tessier bone bending forceps give the surgeon controlled leverage for that task. This angled version measures 21 cm, or 8-1/2 inches, matching the listing in our supplier catalogue.

What the Angled Head Changes

On an angled pattern, the jaws sit off the line of the handles. So the surgeon can approach the bone from the side while the hand stays outside the line of sight. That angle is useful in the mouth and around the jaw, where straight access is rarely available.

Leverage From a 21 cm Length

Long handles multiply the force at the jaws. Consequently, the operator needs less grip effort to bend a segment, which helps with fine control. The 8-1/2 inch length also keeps fingers well back from the working site.

Working in Small Steps

Bone reacts best to gradual shaping. First, seat the jaws securely across the segment. Next, apply pressure in short increments and check the contour after each one. Then repeat until the shape fits the defect or the template. If the bone shows signs of cracking, stop and reassess the plan.

Joint Care After Each Case

The box joint traps blood and fragments. Therefore, open the forceps fully during cleaning, scrub the joint with a small brush and apply instrument lubricant before sterilization. Finally, work the handles a few times to confirm a smooth action.

Each angled pair is looked over in the United States before shipping. The 21 cm forceps carry three years against manufacturing defects as standard. They come non-sterile and need a full reprocessing cycle before use.

Jaw and handle steel follow ASTM F899 rules for surgical stainless. See the complete implant and grafting instruments selection, and secure block grafts for drilling with the Arnold bone graft holding forceps. Policies are summarised on our FAQ hub.
