DescriptionThe AE 2009 bone holding forceps are surgical instruments designed for temporary fixation and manipulation of bone fragments during veterinary orthopedic procedures. Precision-engineered jaws and a progressive ratchet provide consistent clamping and controlled pressure distribution to minimise bone surface trauma. Suitable for small animal, equine and exotic species surgeries.
Technical Specifications & Performance Features- Advanced bone fixation system:
- Dual-surface tungsten carbide jaws (7 mm width) with micro-serration
- Progressive ratchet mechanism with 6-position locking
- 55° angled jaw configuration for improved surgical access
- Pressure-distribution design reduces bone surface trauma by up to 40%
Materials and Construction- Medical-grade stainless steel 1.4112 / AISI 440C with vacuum tempering
- Cryogenic heat treatment for hardness 56–58 HRC
- Reinforced pivot mechanism rated for 300 N clamping force
- Laser-etched depth indicators for precise plate positioning
Ergonomic Features- Extended 26 cm length with optimized weight distribution (520 g)
- Biomechanical handle design to reduce carpal strain during prolonged use
- Non-reflective matte finish to minimize glare
- Quick-release button for single-handed operation
