Frequently asked questions
Does this tool provide a secure grip on bone?
Yes. These forceps feature a specialized 2x2 bifurcated, pointed prong configuration, which is designed to securely grasp and manipulate bone without the need for serrations. The integrated stabilizing ratchet also allows you to lock the instrument in place, maintaining constant, reliable pressure throughout your procedure.
Is this instrument built to withstand repeated surgical use?
Absolutely. This is a professional-grade Sklar OR instrument manufactured from high-quality medical-grade stainless steel. It is engineered for long-term durability and is intended for repeated use in demanding surgical environments.
Are these forceps safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, this product is completely latex-free and is not manufactured using natural rubber latex.
How does this model differ from other bone forceps?
The Ollier model is distinguished by its smooth, pointed 2x2 prong tips. Unlike other models like the Langenback, these prongs are designed to provide a firm, secure hold on bony tissue without using serrated surfaces.
Is the construction standard high enough for OR use?
Yes. These are TAA-compliant, professional-grade surgical instruments that meet rigorous medical standards, making them suitable for use in high-stakes orthopedic and general surgical environments.
Does the ratchet mechanism hold firm under pressure?
Yes, the integrated stabilizing ratchet is a key feature of this model. It allows surgeons to lock the forceps in a fixed position, providing consistent, controlled pressure on the target tissue without needing to manually maintain the grip.
How should I maintain this instrument for longevity?
Because this is a reusable stainless steel instrument, it should be maintained by following standard medical stainless steel surgical instrument cleaning and sterilization protocols. Proper adherence to these protocols will ensure the longevity of the stainless steel construction.
What is the total length of these forceps?
These Sklar Ollier Bone Holding Forceps have a total instrument length of 9 inches, providing sufficient leverage and reach for common surgical bone manipulation tasks.
Are these shipped in sterile packaging?
No, this instrument is delivered in non-sterile condition. It is designed to be processed through your facility’s established cleaning and sterilization protocols before its first use in a surgical setting.
