Implant handling forceps, scissors-like

Implant handling forceps are reusable, scissors-like surgical tools designed to securely grasp and position surgical implants—such as plates, screws, or prosthetic components—during orthopedic or spinal procedures. Their self-retaining, ring-handled design allows surgeons to manipulate implants with precision while minimizing tissue trauma, ensuring accurate placement without direct soft tissue contact.

These instruments are typically regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring compliance with general medical device standards for reusable devices. They are commonly supplied sterile-packed for single-use per procedure, though they are intended for repeated sterilization between cases. Classification and supply details may vary by jurisdiction and manufacturer specifications.
