Bone biting forceps is a surgical instrument mainly used for holding, fixing or cutting off bones, soft tissues or other medical materials, which is widely used in both orthopedic and dental surgeries. The following is a detailed introduction to the bone biting forceps:

I. Structural characteristics

The bone biting forceps usually consists of the following parts:

Jaws: Used for clamping and fixing objects. The jaws are usually serrated to provide a better grip. The shape and size of the jaws can be adjusted to suit different surgical needs.

Handle: The part used to operate the fixture, usually made of metal or plastic. The design of the handle can also be adapted to different surgical needs, such as the choice of handle length, shape and material.

Connector bar: The part that connects the two fixtures, usually made of metal. The length and shape of the bar can also be adjusted to suit the surgical needs.

Adjustment screw: Used to adjust the degree of closure of the jaws. By turning the adjusting screw, the jaws can be opened or closed.

Locking device: The part of the fixture that locks it in place, usually consisting of a screw or snap ring. The locking device prevents the clamp from being accidentally loosened or dislodged and ensures the safety of the procedure.

II. Classification

Bone biting forceps can be categorized according to different criteria:

Classification by shape: Bone biting forceps can be divided into straight, curved, L-shaped, T-shaped, Y-shaped and other shapes. Different shapes of bone biting forceps are suitable for different surgical operations.

According to the use of classification: bone biting forceps can be divided into cutting type, clamping type and fixed type and other types. Cutting forceps are usually used to cut off bones, clamping forceps are used to hold and fix soft tissues, while fixed forceps are used to fix bones and other medical materials.

Classification by structure: Boning forceps can be categorized into single-acting arm and double-acting arm. The jaws of single-action jaws consist of one movable arm and one fixed arm, while the jaws of double-action jaws consist of two movable arms. The jaws of double-action jaws are more flexible and can be adjusted as needed.

According to the material classification: bone biting forceps can be divided into stainless steel bone biting forceps, titanium alloy bone biting forceps, ceramic bone biting forceps and other materials. Different materials have different characteristics and scope of application.

Function and application

Fracture reset: In fracture surgery, doctors can use bone biting forceps to clamp and fix the bone for reset and fixation operation.

Bone cutting: In orthopedic surgery, the doctor can use the bone biting forceps to cut off the bone in order to carry out the subsequent surgical operation.

Soft Tissue Clamping: In some surgeries, the surgeon needs to clamp and immobilize soft tissues such as muscles, blood vessels and nerves. Bone biting forceps can be used to clamp and immobilize these tissues.

Tube Placement: In some procedures, the surgeon needs to place tubes (such as catheters or suction tubes) inside the body. Bone biting forceps can be used to secure and hold the tubing for placement.

Dental Applications: In dental surgery, bone biting forceps are commonly used to remove teeth, remove broken roots, repair fractures, and remove bone fragments. It can also be used in the treatment of periodontitis and periodontal disease, such as cutting and removing periodontal fibers and bone tissue attached to root surfaces.
