8.0MM Carbon Fibre Connecting Rods
+ Description
The Ø8.0MM Carbon Fibre Connecting Rod is a lightweight, high-strength rod used in external fixation systems, particularly in limb lengthening, deformity correction, and fracture stabilization. These rods serve as the primary support elements, connecting fixator components while maintaining structural rigidity. Carbon fibre offers excellent mechanical strength with minimal weight, enhancing patient comfort and reducing fatigue on bone and soft tissues. Material: Core Material: High-modulus Carbon Fibre Composite Surface Coating: Optional epoxy resin coating for added durability Properties: Lightweight Radiolucent (allows for clear X-ray imaging) Biocompatible Corrosion-resistant Sterilization: Fully autoclavable
+ Indications
- Employed in external fixator constructs for long bones like tibia, femur, and humerus.
- Provides rigid yet lightweight structural support.
- Suitable for limb reconstruction, deformity correction, and fracture fixation.
- Connects to carbon or metal clamps and fixator components with Ø8.0MM compatibility.
- Ideal in cases where imaging clarity is critical during post-op assessments.
+ Key Features
- Outer Diameter – Ø8.0MM.
- Radiolucent – Enables unobstructed X-ray and CT imaging, critical during follow-ups.
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio – Offers strong support while minimizing implant weight.
- Fatigue Resistant – Excellent performance under cyclic loading.
- Standard Lengths Available – 100MM, 150MM, 200MM, etc. (customizable).
- Smooth Finish – Easy to clean and assemble.
