Bunnell-Howard Bone Holding Clamps

Description

Bunnell-Howard Bone Holding Clamps

The Bunnell-Howard bone clamp is a small, 15 cm holding clamp for hand surgery. It grips small bones while wires or screws go in.

A hand surgery heritage

Sterling Bunnell is often called the father of hand surgery. Instruments with the name suit fine work on fingers and wrists. This clamp follows that tradition.

Compact grip

The small jaws hold phalanges and metacarpals securely. Therefore the surgeon can fix fractures without an assistant holding the bone. In addition, the 15 cm length stays out of the way.

Who uses the Bunnell-Howard bone clamp

Finger fractures and small joint fusions are its main tasks. Also, forefoot cases make good use of it. It suits pediatric hand work too.

Gentle clamping

Small bones crack easily, so close the clamp gently. Then check that the jaws sit on bone, not tendon. Adjust as needed.

Saving hands

In hand surgery, assistants often hold retractors. Consequently, a self-holding clamp frees the surgeon to drill. That improves efficiency.

Small joint fusion

During fusion, two small bones must stay pressed together. Consequently, a clamp that holds them firmly helps the screws seat well. Also, this pattern suits that job.
