Orthopedic Collinear Reduction Clamp set Reduction Forceps Orthopedic Instrument Pet Autoclaveable

The Orthopedic Collinear Reduction Clamp Set is an autoclavable veterinary reduction forceps system designed for fracture reduction in dogs and cats. 

Built from surgical-grade stainless steel and aluminium, this gun-type reduction forceps kit combines a sliding device with three interchangeable reset arms the Reset Arm, Pelvis Reset Arm, and Minimally Invasive Reduction Forceps allowing veterinary surgeons to manage long bone, pelvic, and minimally invasive percutaneous fracture reductions with a single, modular instrument set.

What Is a Collinear Reduction Clamp Used For in Veterinary Orthopedics?

A collinear reduction clamp, also known as a gun-type reduction forceps, is a veterinary orthopedic instrument used to align and hold displaced bone fragments in position during fracture fixation surgery. Unlike traditional pointed reduction forceps, this collinear (in-line) design applies constant, continuous axial stress along the bone shaft, making it especially effective for closed reduction, minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO), and percutaneous pin placement in small animal patients.

Veterinary surgeons use this instrument to:

• Realign fractured long bones (femur, tibia, humerus) before plating or pinning
• Reduce pelvic fractures with reduced soft tissue disruption
• Perform minimally invasive percutaneous reduction through small incisions
• Maintain fragment compression while guide pins or implants are placed

Key Features of the Orthopedic Reduction Forceps Set

Modular, Combined Reset Arm System

Three different reset arms Reset Arm, Pelvis Reset Arm, and Minimally Invasive Reduction Forceps connect to a single sliding device unit. This “East China unit” combined system lets surgeons switch configurations for different fracture types without needing separate instruments for each case.

Multi-Directional Assembly

The reset arm can be assembled in four directions on the sliding device, allowing flexible orientation based on fracture location, approach angle, and patient anatomy.

Hollow Sliding Rod with Needle Fixation

The feed rod (sliding rod) is hollow and can be temporarily fixed in place with a guide pin/needle, allowing the surgeon to lock the reduction position while preparing for definitive fixation.

Constant, Continuous Stress Conduction

The sliding mechanism and release lever deliver steady, controllable compression across the fracture line, reducing fragment slippage during reduction.

Ergonomic Gun-Style Handle

A pistol-grip handle with a spring-loaded release lever gives surgeons one-handed control over sliding tension, improving precision during intraoperative adjustments.

Fully Autoclavable Construction

All components are manufactured from stainless steel and aluminium and are autoclave-sterilisable, meeting standard veterinary surgical sterilisation protocols.

Sliding Device Component Breakdown

The core sliding device unit consists of:

• Feed Rod the hollow sliding shaft that drives fragment approximation
• Arm Mounting Notches locking points for attaching the interchangeable reset arms
• Arm Mounting Base the connection point on the handle assembly
• Release Lever trigger-style lever that controls sliding tension and releases the mechanism

Use Cases in Small Animal Fracture Surgery

• Long bone fracture reduction: 

Use the standard Reset Arm to align femoral, tibial, or humeral shaft fractures prior to plate or interlocking nail fixation.

• Pelvic fracture management: 

Use the Pelvis Reset Arm’s curved profile to reach and reduce pelvic fragments while minimising soft tissue trauma.

• Minimally invasive percutaneous reduction: 

Use the Minimally Invasive Reduction Forceps configuration for closed or percutaneous reduction through small stab incisions, preserving blood supply to the fracture site.

• Guide pin-assisted temporary fixation: 

Insert a guide pin through the hollow sliding rod to hold reduction while permanent implants are positioned.

Why Choose This Reduction Forceps System

• One system, multiple fracture types reduces the need for separate dedicated instruments for long bone, pelvic, and percutaneous cases
• Reusable and autoclavable designed for repeated sterilisation cycles in veterinary surgical practice
• Comes complete with sterilisation box ready for direct integration into existing autoclave workflows
• Precise, controllable compression the sliding/release lever mechanism gives surgeons fine control over reduction force

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a collinear reduction clamp used for? 

A collinear reduction clamp is a veterinary orthopedic instrument used to align and hold fractured bone fragments in a straight line during surgery, applying continuous axial compression to keep fragments reduced while implants are placed.

Is this reduction forceps set suitable for both dogs and cats? 

Yes. The set is designed for small animal veterinary orthopedic surgery and is suitable for fracture reduction procedures in both dogs and cats.

Can this instrument set be autoclaved? 

Yes. All components are made from stainless steel and aluminium and are fully autoclavable, and the set includes a dedicated sterilisation/disinfection box for autoclave use.

How many reset arm configurations does this set include? 

The set includes three reset arm configurations: the standard Reset Arm, the Pelvis Reset Arm, and the Minimally Invasive Reduction Forceps arm all of which attach to the same sliding device.

What fracture types can this reduction clamp be used for? 

It is designed for long bone shaft fractures, pelvic fractures, and minimally invasive percutaneous fracture reduction, with the reset arm assembled in four directions depending on the fracture location.

What size are the included guide pins? 

The set includes 4 guide pins measuring 2.5mm in diameter by 400mm in length.

What material is the sliding device handle made from? 

The handle body is constructed from stainless steel with an aluminium/composite grip, while the reset arms and feed rod are stainless steel.

Does the hollow sliding rod serve a functional purpose? 

1. The hollow feed rod allows a guide pin (needle) to be passed through it to temporarily fix the reduced position before final implant placement.

What is included in the box? 

The set includes: 1 sliding device, 1 Minimally Invasive Reduction Forceps arm, 1 Pelvis Reset Arm, 1 Reset Arm, 1 set of clean guide pins, 4 guide pins, 2 rivets, and 1 disinfection/sterilisation box.

What are the dimensions of the sterilisation box? 

The included sterilisation box measures 425mm × 245mm × 50mm.
