Cartilage Forceps

Description

Cartilage Forceps

These orthopedic cartilage forceps are a compact, 15 cm grasper for cartilage and small fragments. They hold tissue that slips out of ordinary forceps.

Compact size

A 15 cm length keeps the forceps light and precise. Therefore it suits small joints and fine graft work. The jaws grip firmly despite their size.

What it holds

Use it for cartilage pieces, loose bodies and small bone fragments. It also steadies meniscus edges during trimming. In addition, it holds small grafts on the side table.

Who uses orthopedic cartilage forceps

Joint surgeons use them in open knee and ankle work. Also, hand surgeons use them on small joints. Plastic surgeons find them handy for small grafts.

A general grasper

This plain pattern does not carry an eponym. However, it covers many everyday cartilage tasks. Consequently, it is a sensible addition to most joint trays.

Removing loose bodies

Loose fragments can hide in joint recesses. So open the jaws wide, close on the fragment and lift straight out. Then check for any remaining pieces.
