The Subtrochanteric Femur Fracture Reduction Clamp is a specialized orthopedic reduction instrument designed for controlled handling, positioning, and stabilization of bone during compatible femoral fracture procedures. Its extended configuration provides a practical working reach for applications involving the subtrochanteric region of the femur.

The clamp measures 12.875" (32.7 cm) overall and incorporates a 7.5" (19.1 cm) handle with a 5.25" (13.3 cm) jaw length. The jaws have a 0.25" (6.3 mm) width, providing a defined working profile for compatible bone reduction applications.

Design and Configuration

The clamp combines an extended handle with a dedicated jaw configuration intended for controlled engagement with appropriately sized bone structures. The jaw length and narrow 6.3 mm jaw width provide a focused working profile suitable for the intended orthopedic application.

Its overall dimensions provide an extended reach while maintaining a manageable hand-held configuration.

Orthopedic Applications

The Subtrochanteric Femur Fracture Reduction Clamp is designed for compatible applications involving:

• Subtrochanteric femoral fracture reduction
• Controlled bone positioning
• Temporary fracture stabilization
• Orthopedic trauma procedures requiring a reduction clamp

Specific application should be determined according to the surgical technique and requirements of the procedure.

Handling and Use Considerations

Instrument selection should take into account the anatomical location, required working reach, and bone dimensions involved in the procedure. The clamp should be used only within its intended mechanical and dimensional capabilities.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

Reusable surgical instruments should be cleaned and processed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and validated healthcare-facility protocols. After cleaning, inspect the jaws, handle, alignment, and mechanical components for cleanliness and proper function.

Sterilization and Inspection

Before reuse, the instrument should undergo the validated cleaning, disinfection, packaging, and sterilization process appropriate for the instrument. Inspect for damage, deformation, corrosion, or impaired mechanical function before returning it to service.
