Threaded Socket
+ Description
A Threaded Socket is a precision-machined cylindrical orthopedic connector featuring an internal thread designed to accept threaded rods, bolts, pins, or other orthopedic components. It serves as a joining interface within modular external fixators or frame assemblies, enabling secure and adjustable connections between different hardware elements.
Threaded sockets can be open-ended (allowing through-connection) or closed on one side, depending on the application. Some sockets are designed with slots, knurling, or wrench flats for easy handling and tightening during surgery.
Material:
Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316L) – durable, corrosion-resistant, autoclavable
Titanium Alloy – lightweight, highly biocompatible, MRI-safe (optional)
Anodized Aluminum – lightweight option for pediatric or temporary fixators
+ Indications
- Connecting Threaded Rods or Pins – Enables strong, adjustable connection between threaded rods or Schanz pins and fixator frames.
- Component Extension or Adaptation – Acts as a coupler between frame components when extending the length or changing configuration.
- Hybrid Fixator Builds – Used to transition between linear and circular fixation elements in hybrid systems.
- Secure Anchoring in Frames – Creates a stable anchor point for mounting accessories, hinges, or end rods.
- Torque-Driven Stability – Prevents loosening during movement or weight-bearing rehabilitation.
+ Key Features
- Precision Internal Thread – Securely receives compatible threaded components.
- High Torque Strength – Withstands fixation forces without stripping.
- Modular Compatibility – Fits standard external fixation systems.
- Optional Locking Features – Can include side holes for locking screws or grub screws.
