Large Tubular Fixators

Tubular External Fixator Components (Large Tubular Fixators)

Large Tubular Fixators are medical devices used in orthopedic trauma surgery to stabilize and treat bone fractures. Most importantly, Large Tubular Fixators are used in the lower extremities. They consist of tubular rods, clamps, and other components that are applied externally to the injured area.
As a result, these fixators are versatile and can be used for both temporary and permanent fracture fixation.
Applying Large Tubular Fixators involves several steps to ensure proper stabilization. And healing of the fractured bone.
Here’s a general overview of the products used:

Applications of Large Tubular Fixators

Open Fractures: These fixators are particularly useful for open fractures, where the bone breaks through the skin. They provide immediate stabilization, which is crucial in emergency settings.
Complex Fractures: For fractures involving multiple bone fragments or those that are difficult to align, large tubular external fixators offer a reliable solution.
Infected Fractures: In cases where internal fixation is not advisable due to infection. External fixators serve as an effective alternative.
Limb Lengthening: These devices are also used in limb lengthening procedures, where gradual adjustment is needed to achieve the desired length.

PINS

Are the fixation parts of the system those are applied to the bones.

It may be in different diameters and lengths.

Diameters may be from 1.5 mm to 6.0 mm.

Simply it should be chosen as the 1/4 of the bone diameter to be applied.

RODS

Are cylindrical straight main skeletal parts of tubular external fixators.

Materials may be aluminium, stainless steel and carbon composite.

It may be produced different diameters from 4 mm to 16 mm.

CLAMPS

Are two components.

One of them is to fix the rod. And the other is to fix the pins.

Mostly they have 1 pin or multiple pin alter natives.

Modules	Dimension and Features
