Holding Forceps For Small Plates
Small plate holding forceps keep a small bone plate steady on the bone. At 13 cm, they suit hand, foot and small fragment work.
Steady plates
A plate can slide as screws go in. Therefore holding forceps keep it in position. As a result, holes line up and screws seat correctly.
Compact size
The 13 cm length suits small exposures. Meanwhile, the jaws grip the plate without blocking the holes. Also, the forceps stays out of the drill’s way.
Who uses small plate holding forceps
Hand and foot surgeons use them with mini and small plates. Also, maxillofacial teams use them. Pediatric orthopedic teams find them handy.
Technique
Position the plate, then grip it with the forceps. Next, drill and insert the first screws. Remove the forceps once the plate holds.
Pairing
They pair well with screw holding forceps. Consequently, both plate and screw stay under control. Additionally, small sets often carry both.
Why plates move
As the first screw tightens, a small plate can twist slightly. Consequently, the holes drift off the bone you planned to use. Therefore a holding forceps keeps everything square until two screws hold.

Why we look after your forceps
Should each forceps develop a workmanship issue, you have three years against manufacturing defects. Each forceps passes a careful review in Atlanta before dispatch. For the basics of steels for surgery, consult ASTM F899. Many buyers also look at the screw holding forceps. A second forceps in stores keeps lists moving. For quick help, try our customer FAQ.
