Bone approximation clamps are reusable surgical tools used in orthopedic procedures to stabilize and align fractured bones. They grip the bone segments—either individually or in pairs—while surgeons realign or hold the fracture in place during procedures like internal fixation.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring compliance with medical device safety and performance standards. They are commonly supplied as part of orthopedic trauma sets and may be classified differently depending on jurisdiction, but all must meet rigorous manufacturing and sterility requirements for reuse.
