Reill Reposition Forceps

Description

Reill Reposition Forceps

Reill reposition forceps align fracture fragments before fixation. At 20 cm, they suit medium bones and moderate depths.

Reduction first

Good fixation starts with good reduction. Therefore the surgeon needs a forceps that moves fragments precisely. Besides, the Reill pattern meets that need.

Size

The 20 cm length reaches medium-depth fractures. Meanwhile, the handles give enough leverage to move bone. Furthermore, the tips grip at small points.

Who uses Reill reposition forceps

Trauma surgeons use them on forearm, ankle and tibial fractures. Also, osteotomy cases use them to position bone. They suit pelvic rim work too.

Technique

Choose firm cortex on both sides of the break for the tips. Next, squeeze the handles slowly until the gap closes. Keep the grip while a screw or wire goes in.

Pairing with others

Small reduction forceps handle fine fragments. Meanwhile, the Reill handles medium ones. Consequently, many sets carry both.

Reduction before fixation

Every fixation depends on accurate alignment first. Therefore a good reduction forceps saves time later. The Reill helps get that first step right.
