MUMBAI, India, Oct. 5 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511099001 A) filed by Dr. Ajit Saigal; and Dr. Bela Saigal on October 14, 2025, for Universal Clamp System For Fracture Reduction And Alignment.
Inventors include Dr. Ajit Saigal; Dr. Bela Saigal; Dr. Alok Chandra Agrawal; Pradip Govind Kshirsagar; and Dr. R. C. Thakur.
The application for the patent was published on October 02, 2026, under issue no. 40/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a Universal Clamp System (100) for orthopedic fracture reduction and fixation. The system includes a Clamp Body (101), a Rotating Handle (102), a Threaded Rod Mechanism (103) converting rotational input into linear displacement, Clamp Jaws (104) for engaging bone or surgical plates, a Fixation Support (105) for stabilization, and a Locking Hook (106) to anchor the clamp and prevent axial or rotational displacement. Clockwise rotation of the handle applies compression across a fracture for early union, while anti-clockwise rotation provides distraction to restore limb length in comminuted fractures. An Allen key interface permits precise micro-adjustments for controlled tightening or loosening. The device is lightweight, ergonomic, and compatible with bridge plating techniques, functioning effectively in both simple and complex fractures. Optional features include replaceable jaw inserts, torque-limiting mechanisms, and quick-release couplings, offering a compact multifunctional solution for improved fixation, faster healing, and prevention of limb shortening.
