Surgical Tissue Forceps 18.0 cm (7")

Controlled Bone Handling for General Surgical Workflows

The 7" Kern Bone Forceps ratchet is a general surgery instrument intended for controlled grasping and handling of bone. Its ratcheting design supports a secure working hold when the instrument needs to remain engaged during a task, helping reduce the need for continuous hand pressure. The 7-inch format provides a practical balance of reach and maneuverability for routine instrument handling in the operative field. As a forceps-style instrument, it is suited to workflows that call for deliberate bone handling, repositioning, or removal under the direction of the responsible surgical professional and facility protocol.

Use Cases

• Grasp and handle bone during general surgical procedures.
• Maintain an engaged hold while repositioning bone or managing a surgical fragment.
• Support controlled instrument handling when a ratcheting forceps action is appropriate.
• Use as part of a general surgery setup requiring a 7-inch bone forceps.
