Patella Reposition Forceps
The ASI-1492 Patella Reposition Forceps are precision instruments. They assist surgeons during delicate orthopedic procedures. These forceps measure 185 mm in length.
This size offers ideal control and reach. They feature curved, pointed jaws for stability. The jaws conform naturally to the patella. Surgeons can securely grasp the kneecap easily. This reduces slipping and minimizes tissue damage.
An integrated screw lock mechanism keeps pressure firm. You do not need continuous manual force. This hands-free locking enhances accuracy during operations. It keeps bones aligned throughout fixation.
Crafted from high-grade German stainless steel, they last long. The material resists rust and repeated wear. A dull matte finish reduces unwanted glare. Bright operating room lights will not distract.
The forceps handle heat and steam sterilization well. They maintain sharpness and tension after repeated use. Ideal for patellar realignment and fracture care. They deliver consistent reliability in every surgery.
Manufactured by Aero Surgical in Sialkot, Pakistan. They meet high standards for surgical tools. This versatile surgical tool features ergonomic handle rings for enhanced grip comfort. They allow smooth, single-handed manipulation during crucial moments.
The balanced weight distribution helps reduce hand fatigue over long surgical procedures. This ensures precise control and consistent alignment throughout the entire operation.
