T-Ball Joint Socket Clamp
The T-Ball Joint Socket Clamp is a versatile and precision-engineered orthopedic component used in external fixation systems to allow multi-axial adjustment and secure connection of rods and pins. Its T-shaped body incorporates a ball joint mechanism that enables smooth 360° rotational movement and controlled angulation, making it especially useful in complex anatomical corrections and dynamic frame configurations.
This clamp is typically integrated into rail or rod-based external fixator assemblies and is essential for cases involving deformity correction, bone transport, or limb lengthening, where frequent adjustments and precise alignment are required.
Main Body: Medical-grade AISI 316L STAINLESS STEEL – offers high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.
Ball Joint Components: Precision-machined STAINLESS STEEL for smooth articulation and secure locking under load.
Optional Pins/Rod Holders: Can be compatible with TITANIUM SCHANZ PINS depending on surgical preference.
- Deformity Correction: Allows precise angular and rotational adjustments to correct complex skeletal deformities (e.g., varus, valgus, antecurvatum, recurvatum).
- Fracture Stabilization: Supports stabilization of fractures with non-linear alignment or requiring multi-planar fixation.
- Limb Lengthening & Bone Transport: Enables fine-tuned adjustments during distraction osteogenesis or gradual movement of bone segments in large defects.
- Custom Frame Construction: Facilitates the design of patient-specific frame geometries with intersecting rods and flexible articulation points.
- Multi-Planar Frame Adjustment: Ideal for staged correction procedures that require frequent post-operative adjustments.
- Multi-Axial Adjustability: The integrated ball joint allows for a wide range of angular and rotational movements, critical for aligning bones in multiple planes.
- T-Shaped Design: Provides stable three-point connectivity between rods and pins or between intersecting rods, supporting various frame configurations.
- High Locking Strength: Designed to lock firmly in position once the desired angle is achieved, ensuring stability throughout the treatment duration.
- Compatible with Schanz Pins & Rods: Universally fits with standard sizes used in external fixation systems for both upper and lower limbs.
- Reusable & Sterilizable: Made from materials capable of enduring multiple sterilization cycles without degradation.
- Fine-Tuned Control: Ideal for gradual correction in staged deformity treatments or lengthening procedures.
