A surgical instrument used for grasping and holding a bone during a surgical procedure. It is typically strongly constructed with a scissors-like design, which may or may not be self-retaining, with ring handles or curved shank handles. It is made of high-grade stainless steel and is available in various sizes. The working end can have a wide variety of jaws designs, e.g., curved serrated jaws, straight toothed jaws, or profiled wrench-like jaws with grooves to provide extra grip of the bone. This is a reusable device.
