Pincers for positioning maxillary facial osteosynthesis plates

摘要

The pincers have two legs with jaws (4,5) articulated around a common axis and having closure stops. The two jaws have formations (10-13) to receive the plate at the level of one of its eyes and to lock the plate to hold it in a fixed position w.r.t. the pincers. The jaws have a circular passage (16) coaxial to the geometrical axis of an eye held in the jaws to allow passage and guiding of a drill. The passage can be formed by the contact of two semi-circular sections.
