Lowman Bone Holding Clamp

Description
The Lowman Bone Holding Clamp is a specialized, self-retaining orthopedic instrument designed primarily for use in spinal fusion procedures, particularly those involving the ilium (pelvic bone). Its primary function is to firmly grasp and stabilize a bone graft—often a piece of iliac crest bone—while it is being shaped, cut, or prepared for implantation.
This clamp is a critical tool for ensuring precision and efficiency in the operating room. By providing a secure, non-slip hold on an otherwise slippery and irregular piece of bone, it allows the surgeon to manipulate the graft with confidence without directly handling it, which helps preserve its viability and reduces the risk of contamination.
