Description
Synthes 399.17 Malleolar Reduction Forceps with Two-Point Tip (8-1/4")
The Synthes 399.17 is a specialized orthopedic trauma instrument designed for the precise reduction of malleolar fractures and small bone fragments. Measuring 8-1/4 inches (210 mm), this forceps features a unique two-point (forked) distal tip that provides superior stability compared to standard single-point clamps. By engaging the bone at two distinct contact points, the 399.17 prevents fragment rotation—a critical advantage when aligning the distal fibula or medial malleolus during internal fixation.
Equipped with a speed-lock or multi-position ratchet, the 399.17 allows for the application of high-tension compression across the fracture line. As a core component of the Synthes Small Fragment system, this instrument is crafted from high-grade surgical stainless steel, ensuring it maintains its structural rigidity and "bite" even when manipulating dense cortical bone in the lower extremities.
Key Features
Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
Model Number: 399.17
Tip Configuration: Two-Point (Forked) Jaws for Anti-Rotational Grip
Overall Length: 8-1/4 inches (210 mm)
Handle Style: Ratcheted Ring Handle for Constant Compression
Material: Premium Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel
Application: Malleolar Fractures, Small-Fragment Trauma, Ankle ORIF
Clinical & Operational Advantages
Superior Reduction Stability: The two-point tip "cradles" the bone fragment, preventing the sliding or "toggle" that often occurs with single-point Weber or Lewin clamps.
Optimized for Small Fragments: The 210mm length provides the ideal leverage for reducing fractures of the ankle, foot, and distal radius without obstructing the surgical field.
Anatomical Alignment: By securing the fragment at two points, the surgeon can maintain a perfectly anatomical reduction while placing K-wires or 3.5mm lag screws through the fracture.
Synthes System Quality: Engineered to integrate perfectly with Synthes 3.5mm and 2.7mm plating sets, ensuring consistent performance in high-volume trauma centers.
Condition
Status: Limited Use – Excellent Condition.
Quality Assessment: This instrument is in nearly pristine condition, showing signs of "New-Old-Stock" status or extremely minimal prior use. The points are sharp and undulled, and the stainless steel finish is bright and free of sterilization "browning."
Functional Status: The ratchet engages smoothly and holds firmly. The two-point tips are perfectly aligned and the hinge action is fluid with no "sticking."
Sterilization Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved per your facility's validated orthopedic trauma protocols prior to use.
