Farabeuf Bone Holding Forceps

Description

Farabeuf Bone Holding Forceps

Farabeuf bone holding forceps are heavy, classic clamps for long bones. They grip firmly so fractures can be reduced and held.

A heavy classic

Louis Hubert Farabeuf designed many tools still used today. Also, these forceps are among the best known Farabeuf designs. Their stout jaws handle large bones with ease.

Two lengths

The 23 cm version suits most limb fractures. Meanwhile, the 25 cm version adds a little leverage for larger bones. Additionally, both have the same strong jaws.

Who uses Farabeuf bone holding forceps

Trauma surgeons grip femoral and tibial fractures with them. Also, amputation and osteotomy cases use them to steady bone. They suit pelvic work as well.

Steady holding

Close the jaws across the bone, not along it. Then check the grip before applying force. A firm hold keeps the fracture aligned during fixation.

Strength over finesse

For delicate fragments, a lighter clamp may suit better. However, for big bones, the Farabeuf grip is hard to beat. Consequently, it remains a staple on trauma trays.

When to choose the Farabeuf

Choose it for large, strong bones where a light clamp would slip. In contrast, choose a smaller clamp for fine fragments. Many surgeons keep both nearby.
