Description
Setter Bone Holding Forceps
Setter bone holding forceps hold fractures in alignment while fixation goes in. Three lengths cover small and medium bones.
Three lengths
The 15 cm version suits hand, foot and wrist. Meanwhile, the 22 and 24 cm versions suit forearm and lower leg. Therefore one pattern covers many sites.
Holding alignment
The jaws close across the fracture and keep it from shifting. As a result, the surgeon can drill and place screws accurately. Furthermore, that precision improves fixation.
Who uses Setter bone holding forceps
Trauma surgeons use them in plating. Also, foot and ankle surgeons use the short version. They suit osteotomy fixation too.
Applying the clamp
Reduce the fracture first. Then apply the forceps with just enough pressure. Check alignment again before drilling.
Choosing sizes
Most trays carry one short and one long version. Consequently, the surgeon can match the clamp to the bone. The middle size adds flexibility.
From ankle to forearm
Ankle fractures often need a short clamp near the malleolus. Meanwhile, forearm fractures need more reach along the shaft. The three Setter lengths handle both.
