Abstract:
We have designed a sort of multi-functional bone forceps for use as orthopedic surgical instruments to grip, bend and cut the spicula. It is labor-saving and easily installed. Its left and right clamp bodies are connected by a rivet to hold the spicula, and the pressure-regulating shank is connected with the clamp seat body at the right top of the clamp body by a rivet. It is used to curve the spicula. At an appropriate location on the pressure-regulating shank is a pin-cutting chip. On the right body rotating disc-clamp, there is a rectangular open cutting groove to be in use for cutting the specula with the role of pin-cutting chip. Being characterized by the use of mechanical leverage, the manipulations of holding and bending are less arduous. After achieving the 90-degree bend, the operator can cut off the specula successfully. The operation is easy to perform and labor-saving; the forceps can further meet the actual clinical demand.
