- Highly specialized, heavy-duty surgical tool is utilized exclusively in plastic, reconstructive, and oral/maxillofacial surgeries to reduce and repair complex facial bone fractures
Uses
- Zygomatic Arch Reduction:
- Slipping under depressed or collapsed cheekbones to safely lift and snap them back into their correct anatomical positions
- Maxillofacial Trauma Reconstruction:
- Aligning displaced facial bone segments caused by high-impact facial injuries
- Fracture Line Exploration:
- Accessing, probing, and identifying the perimeter lines of a facial bone break prior to securing plates or screws
Features
- Dual-Jaw Design Concept:
- Features a specialized spatula-shaped jaw designed to slide smoothly underneath the bone to lift it, and a fenestrated jaw used primarily to mark the fracture site
- Calculated Tip Dimensions:
- The working tip spans 37mm in length and 22mm in width, optimized to cover enough surface area to lift bone without slipping
- O.R.-Grade Stainless Steel:
- Hand-crafted from premium surgical-grade stainless steel with a sleek satin finish to prevent glare under intense operating room lighting
- Heavy-Duty Riveted Joint:
- Engineered with a highly precise, reinforced joint that ensures smooth jaw movement and robust leverage during lifting
Benefits
- Atraumatic Manipulation:
- The smoothly contoured, spatula-shaped jaw distributes physical pressure evenly across the bone surface, reducing the risk of shattering fragmented bones during reduction
- Exceptional Leverage & Control:
- The ergonomic handle profile allows surgeons to exert powerful manual upward force securely, minimizing hand slippage during intense reductions
- Secondary Stabilization:
- The fenestrated section of the jaw can function as an alternative auxiliary handle, giving assistants or surgeons better multi-directional stability
- High-Temperature Sterilization Tolerance:
- The high-yield steel build stands up to repeated high-temperature autoclaving and chemical processing without compromising structural alignment or joint tightness
