Langenbeck Bone Holding Forceps
Langenbeck bone holding forceps are a 20 cm clamp for steadying bone. They hold fragments during reduction, osteotomy and fixation.
A trusted name
Bernhard von Langenbeck shaped modern surgery, and many tools bear the name. This forceps reflects that practical style. Its jaws grip securely.
Size
At 20 cm, the forceps suit medium bones. Therefore they work well on the forearm, tibia and humerus. The handles give good leverage.
Who uses Langenbeck bone holding forceps
Forearm plating is a common use. Besides, osteotomy cases use them to keep bone steady. They suit pediatric work too.
Using them well
Close the jaws across the fracture after reduction. Then drill and fix while the forceps hold. Release only when fixation is secure.
A general clamp
Because the size is versatile, many teams use this as their everyday bone clamp. Consequently, it often sits on general orthopedic trays. It pairs with smaller clamps for fine work.
A dependable choice
When in doubt, a mid-size general clamp rarely disappoints. Moreover, the Langenbeck feels balanced in the hand. Consequently, it is easy to control during long steps.
