An orthopaedic fixation plate tensioner is a surgical tool used during fracture repair to manually compress bone fragments before securing a fixation plate. By applying controlled tension, it helps stabilize the fracture site, aiding proper alignment and healing before final implant fixation.
These devices are typically reusable, made from durable materials like stainless steel, and are designed for use in both simple and complex fracture cases. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical purpose and risk profile, not as a standalone category.
