End Clamp
The End Clamp is a specialized orthopedic fixture used in external fixator systems to anchor the terminal ends of connecting rods or rails. Positioned at the extremities of the fixation frame, it provides a secure and stable interface for Schanz pins or rods, ensuring the frame maintains proper alignment and load distribution.
on procedures.
This clamp is essential in both unilateral and multiplanar constructs, playing a key role in stabilizing the fixator frame and resisting mechanical stress during bone healing and adjustment phases.
Material Composition:
Constructed from AISI 316L STAINLESS STEEL for excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
Fully compatible with TITANIUM SCHANZ PINS and other modular fixator components.
Designed for repeated use with full sterilization durability.
- Terminal Fixation of Schanz Pins: Anchors SCHANZ PINS at the end points of the fixator, ensuring strong bone-to-frame connection and minimizing movement.
- Structural Stability: Enhances the mechanical integrity of the frame by locking down peripheral rods or rails, especially in weight-bearing regions.
- Frame Closure in Unilateral & Hybrid Fixators: Used to complete the assembly of unilateral, hybrid, or ring-based frames by securing distal components in place.
- Load Transfer & Force Distribution: Plays a role in evenly distributing forces across the fixator during dynamic loading (e.g., during walking or limb movement).
- Adjustable Frame Configurations: Allows repositioning or replacement of terminal rods/pins without disassembling the entire construct—ideal for post-op modifications.
- Terminal Fixation Point: Securely locks the final pin or rod at the end of the frame, providing strong anchorage and overall structural integrity.
- High Clamping Force: Designed to hold components tightly under load without slippage, ensuring consistent alignment.
- Versatile Fit: Compatible with various rod diameters and rail sizes, making it suitable for both upper and lower limb constructs.
- Rigid Support: Helps maintain the geometric stability of the external fixator, especially in high-stress regions near joints or large muscles.
- Reusable & Sterilizable: Built for long-term clinical use and resistant to wear from frequent surgical sterilization processes.
