13MM Spanner



+ Description
The Ø13MM Spanner is a surgical-grade hand tool used to tighten or loosen bolts, nuts, and fixator components that have a 13MM hexagonal head. It is a critical tool in orthopedic procedures involving external fixators, locking plates, Schanz screws, and other modular hardware systems. The spanner ensures torque-controlled adjustments without damaging implant surfaces, allowing for secure fixation and easy intraoperative handling.
Material: Surgical-grade stainless steel (AISI 410 / 420 / 17-4 PH)
Properties:
Corrosion-resistant
High mechanical strength
Autoclavable and reusable
Maintains dimensional accuracy under torque and pressure

+ Indications
- Tightening and Loosening Orthopedic Implants: Used to secure or remove nuts and bolts on orthopedic devices such as external fixators, locking plates, rod clamps, Schanz screws, and connecting bars.
- Assembly of External Fixation Systems: Critical in constructing or adjusting external fixator frames, especially those that utilize 13MM hex nuts or fasteners.
- Intraoperative Adjustments: Enables surgeons to make real-time torque adjustments during fracture alignment, deformity correction, or lengthening procedures (e.g., Ilizarov systems).
- Post-Operative Modifications: Used during follow-up procedures to tighten, loosen, or reconfigure implants without full surgical exposure.
- Orthopedic Workshops and Training: Commonly included in surgical kits for simulation, resident training, and dry lab practices involving hardware setup.
+ Key Features
- Precision 13MM Hex Fit: Compatible with bolts, nuts, and fasteners having a 13MM hex profile.
- Ergonomic Handle: Designed for firm grip and torque application, even with gloved hands.
- High Torque Resistance: Built to handle the forces needed in orthopedic hardware tightening.
- Durable and Reusable: Resistant to wear and deformation over repeated sterilization cycles.
- Compact Size: Easy to handle in both open and minimally invasive surgical setups.
- Polished or Matte Finish: Anti-reflective to reduce glare in operating room lights.
