Plate Holding/ Drill Guide Forceps Set (one of each size) [0012SET]
375179
Combination bone holder and drill guide. Allows temporary fixation of the plate to the bone whilst a hole is drilled. The ball shape of the tip engages the plate hole while the tip of the drill guide engages the bone. Tips are offset slightly to avoid the drill bit hitting the opposite bone holder tip.
All DCPs and many other plates are designed to hold and interact with spherical headed bone screws. This range of forceps has a spherical ball tip on one side of the jaw and a pointed tip on the other to allow the maximum range of positions for each forcep without compromising the reduced fracture. Incorporated into the ball tip is a drill guide of an appropriate size which just protrudes through the ball to engage in the bone under the plate. As pressure is applied the ball tip engages the edges of the plate hole producing a secure fix of the plate on the bone with a drill guide in situ, hands free ready for drilling. The pointed tip is offset relative to the drill guide to prevent contact between drill tip and forceps. Also available as single items in the following sizes:
