Abstract
The invention relates to surgical forceps for holding two bone parts of a fractured bone at a bone fracture site comprising a first forceps part extending in a radial direction and a second forceps part extending in the radial direction rotatably held in a rotational direction about a pivot via a lock on the first forceps part, each forceps part having a forceps head with a clamping section at one end in the radial direction such that the bone parts are clampable between the forceps heads at the clamping sections, characterised in that each forceps part has a shoulder between the clamping sections and the lock, extending transversely to the radial direction and transversely to the direction of rotation, against which a plate can be placed against the radial direction for osteosynthesis of the bone parts.
Claims8
Surgical forceps (2) configured to hold two bone parts of a fractured bone (44) at a bone fracture site (63, 74) comprising a first forceps part (10) extending in a radial direction (8) and a second forceps part (12) extending in the radial direction (8) rotatably held in a rotational direction (9) about a pivot (6) via a lock (14) on the first forceps part (10), each forceps part (10, 12) having a forceps head (24, 28) with a clamping section (26, 30) at one end in the radial direction (8) such that the each forceps part (10, 12) is configured to the clamp bone parts between the forceps heads (24, 28) at the clamping sections, the each forceps part (10, 12) has a shoulder (32, 34) between the clamping sections (26, 30) and the lock (14), extending transversely to the radial direction (8) and transversely to the direction of rotation (9), against which a plate (72) can be placed against the radial direction (8) for osteosynthesis of the bone parts;
- wherein each forceps head (24, 28) has, in the region of its clamping section (26, 30), a recess (37) which runs counter to the radial direction (8) and separates the clamping section (26, 30) into a first fork tine (38) and a second fork tine (39), and wherein the first and second fork tines (38, 39) of one clamping section (26, 30) are thinner than the fork tines (38, 39) of the other clamping section (26, 30), as viewed transversely to the radial direction (8) and transversely to the direction of rotation (9);
- and
- the first and second fork tines (38, 39) are elastic in the direction of rotation (9) with a modulus of elasticity between 30 GPa and 100 GPa.
