Farabeuf-Lambotte Bone Holding Forceps

Description

Farabeuf-Lambotte Bone Holding Forceps

The Farabeuf-Lambotte holding forceps combines two classic bone clamp patterns in one 25 cm instrument. It grips bone firmly during reduction and fixation.

Two classic names

Farabeuf is known for heavy bone forceps, while Lambotte is linked to early fracture fixation. Additionally, this combination draws on both traditions. The result is a strong, versatile clamp.

Length and leverage

At 25 cm, the forceps gives good leverage without feeling bulky. Therefore it suits medium and large bones. The jaws hold steadily during drilling.

Who uses Farabeuf-Lambotte holding forceps

Trauma surgeons hold fractures of the femur, tibia and humerus. Also, osteotomy cases benefit from the grip. It suits revision surgery too.

Applying the grip

Place the jaws across the bone at a right angle. Then close gradually until the bone feels secure. Check that soft tissue is not trapped.

Where it sits in a set

This forceps sits between light reduction clamps and very heavy holders. Consequently, it covers a large share of fracture cases on its own. Many surgeons keep it as their main bone clamp.

Grip before drilling

A firm grip matters most at the moment the drill bites. Otherwise, fragments can spin away. Therefore keep the forceps closed until at least one screw holds.
