A Farabeuf-Lambotte instrument, 255 mm is a specialized surgical retractor or bone-holding forceps used in orthopedic and trauma surgery. The name combines two classic surgical instrument designs: Farabeuf (known for retractors and elevators) and Lambotte (known for bone-holding forceps and fracture fixation instruments). The instrument may also be related to the Lambotte osteotome, which is used for cutting bone, but the 255 mm length strongly suggests a larger instrument for robust applications.
