Synthes 398.41 Bone Reduction Forceps w/ Two Serrated Points Orthopedic 5"

Synthes 398.41 5-Inch Bone Reduction Forceps with Two Serrated Points

The Synthes 398.41 is a high-precision, small-fragment reduction instrument engineered for the delicate demands of hand, wrist, and foot surgery. Measuring just 5 inches (132 mm), this compact forceps is designed to provide maximum stabilization in the tightest surgical fields. The unique dual serrated-point jaws offer a broad, slip-resistant surface area that securely "cradles" small bone fragments, ensuring an anatomical reduction that won't shift during internal fixation.

Equipped with a multi-position ratcheting handle, the 398.41 allows the surgeon to apply and maintain precise compressive force across a fracture line without continuous manual effort. As a core component of the Synthes 2.0mm/2.4mm and 2.7mm small-fragment sets, this instrument is crafted from premium surgical stainless steel to ensure a rigid, non-flexing hold through high-volume trauma cycles.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Atraumatic Stability: The broad serrated points distribute pressure more evenly than single-pointed clamps, reducing the risk of "bone crushing" in osteopenic patients while preventing fragment rotation.

• Optimized for Small Portals: The 5-inch length is perfectly balanced for small-incision surgery, allowing the surgeon to work around the instrument without it obstructing the surgical headlight or fluoroscopy view.

• Reliable "Third Hand" Locking: The crisp ratcheting mechanism locks the reduction in place, freeing the surgeon to focus on plate contouring and K-wire placement.

• Synthes System Precision: Designed for seamless integration with Synthes LCP and small-fragment plating systems, maintaining the tight tolerances required for modern orthopedic surgery.
