TPLO Reduction Forceps for Veterinary Orthopedic Surgery

TPLO Reduction Forceps RF001 is a veterinary orthopedic instrument designed to assist with controlled reduction of the rotated tibial plateau during Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO). The curved working jaws and adjustable central screw help the surgeon position and hold the osteotomy segment while alignment is assessed before temporary pin or plate fixation.

Designed for a controlled TPLO workflow: After the curved tibial osteotomy has been completed and the proximal segment has been rotated, the bone must be reduced and maintained in the planned position. TPLO Reduction Forceps can help close a small reduction gap, maintain contact between the bone segments, and support the next fixation step. The adjustment screw provides gradual control of the clamping action, while the ring handles allow deliberate placement and release by the operating surgeon.

Clinical application: RF001 is intended for professional veterinary orthopedic use, particularly in canine stifle procedures involving TPLO. It can be incorporated into a TPLO instrument set together with the selected saw, reduction pin, drill guide, plate, and screws. The instrument is an assisting tool and does not replace the surgeon's assessment of radiographs, osteotomy position, tibial plateau rotation, implant compatibility, or final fixation stability.
