V. Mueller OS911-010 Bone Reduction Forceps Curved 1x1 Sharp Tip Prongs 8"

V. Mueller Bone Reduction Forceps | 8" Curved | 1x1 Sharp Prongs | OS911-010 | Reusable Stainless

The V. Mueller OS911-010 is a high-performance orthopedic instrument designed for the precise manipulation and stabilization of bone fragments during open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Featuring curved 1x1 sharp-tipped prongs, these forceps provide a secure "point-contact" grip, minimizing periosteal stripping while ensuring maximum stability of the fracture site.

The integrated ratcheting handle allows the surgeon to apply incremental, maintained tension, locking the fragments in the desired anatomical alignment. Constructed from premium-grade stainless steel, the OS911-010 is engineered for high-torque applications and repeated sterilization cycles.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• 1x1 Sharp Pointed Jaws: The "sharp-point" design allows for a secure mechanical interlock with the cortical bone. This minimizes the footprint of the instrument on the bone surface, preserving the blood supply (periosteum) essential for rapid fracture healing.

• Curved Geometry for Access: The anatomical curve of the 8-inch shafts allows the surgeon to reach around soft tissue structures and navigate deep surgical corridors, providing a clear line of sight to the fracture line.

• Precision Ratchet Lock: The heavy-duty ratchet mechanism provides a reliable "set-and-forget" function. Once the bone is reduced, the forceps maintain the compression effortlessly, allowing the surgeon to focus on plate and screw placement.

• Ergonomic Force Transmission: The handle is designed to translate manual squeeze into significant clamping force at the tips, providing the leverage needed for reducing displaced long-bone fractures or pelvic injuries.

• V. Mueller Quality: As a staple in orthopedic instrument sets, this V. Mueller model is recognized for its structural rigidity and resistance to "jaw-spread" under high physiological loads.

Applications

• Orthopedic Trauma: Open reduction of small to medium long-bone fractures (e.g., radius, ulna, fibula).

• Hand & Foot Surgery: Stabilization of metacarpal or metatarsal fractures.

• Maxillofacial Surgery: Precision reduction of mandibular or zygomatic fractures.

• General Orthopedics: Temporary fixation during osteotomies or joint reconstructions.
