2. NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-1355-17 | Self-Centering
Bone Holding Forceps
Reduction becomes considerably easier when a bone fragment can be held securely without
constant manual correction. NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-1355-17 Self-Centering Bone Holding
Forceps is designed for this role, providing controlled stabilization while the surgical team
prepares the fracture for definitive fixation.
Rather than relying solely on hand pressure, the forceps maintain their position around the bone
during manipulation. The self-centering action is useful when the diameter or contour of the
bone changes along the working area. This makes the instrument particularly relevant to
orthopedic trauma sets where maintaining reduction during plating or screw placement is
important.
A few details make this forceps especially practical:
● The self-centering jaw arrangement helps the instrument settle around the bone rather
than requiring repeated repositioning.
● The locking mechanism can maintain the selected hold while the surgeon works on
fixation.
● The substantial construction provides stability during controlled fragment manipulation.
● The overall configuration supports use around long-bone fracture sites where access
may be limited.
In practice, the value of a reduction clamp is measured by how reliably it stays where the
surgeon places it. SKU 11-1355-17 provides that temporary mechanical hold while leaving the
operator free to concentrate on alignment, drilling, plate positioning, or other fixation steps.
Its stainless steel construction makes it suitable for inclusion in reusable surgical trays, provided
it is processed according to the facility’s validated instructions. For trauma departments and
orthopedic instrument sets, this self-centering forceps offers a practical solution for controlled
fracture reduction.
