Semb Bone Holding Forceps

Description

Semb Bone Holding Forceps

Semb bone holding forceps grip ribs and bones during thoracic and orthopedic surgery. You can order them with or without a ratchet.

Ratchet or free

A ratchet locks the grip so it stays constant. By contrast, a free version lets the surgeon vary pressure. Choose based on how long the hold must last.

A thoracic heritage

Carl Semb shaped chest surgery, and Semb instruments often serve rib work. These forceps hold ribs steady during resection. They also suit other bones.

Who uses Semb bone holding forceps

Chest surgeons hold ribs and sternal edges. Similarly, limb surgeons find them handy on slender bones. They suit reconstruction cases too.

Using the ratchet

Close the jaws and click the ratchet to the needed tension. Then release by separating the handles. Practice helps avoid sudden release.

Matching the Semb set

Semb cutters and rongeurs often sit on the same tray. Consequently, these forceps complete the set. Together, they cover a full rib procedure.

Ribs and small long bones

Ribs flex and slip in smooth jaws. In contrast, this forceps grips them securely during resection. Moreover, it works well on the fibula and clavicle.

Semb care

Clear blood from the ratchet teeth so they engage reliably. After drying, oil the hinge lightly. Check the ratchet clicks at every step.
