Bone distraction forceps are surgical tools used in open procedures to carefully separate two bone surfaces, such as vertebrae during spinal surgery. Their scissors-like design allows precise control over the force applied, enabling surgeons to create space for implants or adjustments without direct manipulation of the bone itself.
These instruments are typically reusable, made from durable materials like stainless steel, and come in various sizes to fit different anatomical needs. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical use and risk profile rather than the category alone.
