ZEPF Bone Holding Forceps acc. to Dr. Howard Gluckman

Dr. Howard Gluckman; Specialist in Periodontics, Implantology and Oral Medicine,

“Bone holding forceps that I have tried so far are always very difficult to handle and some require 2 hands to use them effectively . A big problem for me was that the forceps usually got in the way and made screwing the bone blocks in to position difficult. This inspired me to create a bone holding forceps that allowed one to effectively hold the bone plate or the bone block and at the same time having adequate space for the bone screws and driver.

The holder is easy to use with one hand due to the ratchet design and firmly grips either the bone plate or block on its own thereby allowing fixation of the plate at the desired distance from the bone; if you utilise the Khoury technique; or to hold both bone block and recipient site thereby enabling easy bone fixation. The bone vice is designed to work with both large and small blocks.”
