Intended for controlled repositioning and manipulation of bone segments or implants during orthopedic procedures. It is commonly used in fracture reduction, joint reconstruction, and revision surgery, where incremental levering and precise directional force are required to adjust anatomical alignment. Designed as a DePuy‑compatible instrument, the repositioning lever features a contoured levering blade and elongated shaft that allows the surgeon to apply controlled mechanical advantage while maintaining tactile feedback. The instrument is manufactured from surgical‑grade stainless steel and is designed for repeated sterilization and long‑term use in hospital operating rooms and ambulatory surgery centers.
