Carbon Foot Ring Long
The Carbon Foot Ring – Long is a specialized circular frame component used in distal limb external fixation, especially for the foot and ankle region. Designed from carbon fiber composite, this ring offers high strength with minimal weight, improving patient mobility and comfort during prolonged use. Its elongated arc (long profile) provides extended coverage and multiple fixation points for complex foot reconstructions, deformity corrections, or trauma cases. The ring accommodates transfixing wires and half pins, and can be integrated with various modular components in systems like the Ilizarov frame or Taylor Spatial Frame. Material: Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Known for being extremely lightweight, durable, and radiolucent Finish: Smooth matte surface Fully autoclavable and biocompatible
- Foot and Ankle Reconstruction – Used in complex foot deformity corrections, such as clubfoot or Charcot arthropathy.
- Trauma Management – Stabilizes severe or comminuted fractures of the calcaneus, talus, or midfoot.
- Limb Lengthening & Bone Transport – Serves as a distal anchor for distraction osteogenesis in the lower limb.
- Diabetic Foot Correction – Supports offloading and healing in diabetic foot ulcers or infections, when combined with circular frames.
- Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery – Lightweight nature makes it suitable for younger patients requiring extended frame use.
- Extended Foot Coverage – Longer profile provides greater area for pin/wire placement in complex reconstructions.
- Radiolucent – Allows clear visibility in X-rays and CT scans without frame removal.
- Ultra-Lightweight – Reduces patient discomfort and mechanical load.
- Pre-Drilled Holes – Compatible with standard Schanz pins, wires, and frame accessories.
- High Strength & Flexibility – Resists deformation under load and retains alignment.
- Compatible with Most Frame Systems – Integrates seamlessly with Ilizarov and other circular fixators.
- Resistant to Corrosion & Sterilization – Withstands repeated autoclaving cycles without degradation.
