C D Unit

Accordion Hover Style
+ Description

The C D Unit is a pivotal component in external fixator systems, designed to facilitate controlled compression and distraction of bone segments. This adjustability is crucial in orthopedic procedures such as bone lengthening, deformity correction, and fracture management. By allowing precise linear adjustments, the C D Unit aids in aligning bone fragments and promoting optimal healing conditions.​

Material Composition:
Manufactured from high-quality AISI 316L STAINLESS STEEL, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.​

Compatible with TITANIUM SCHANZ PINS and standard external fixator rods, providing versatility in various surgical applications.​

Indications

The C D Unit is a versatile component in external fixator assemblies, designed to facilitate controlled compression and distraction of bone segments. Its applications are pivotal in orthopedic procedures that require precise linear adjustments to promote optimal bone healing and alignment.


  • Limb Lengthening Procedures: Enables gradual distraction osteogenesis by allowing controlled movement at the osteotomy site, essential for limb lengthening surgeries.
  • Angular Deformity Corrections: Assists in the precise correction of bone deformities by permitting adjustable angulation during the healing phase.
  • Transition from Rigid to Dynamic Fixation: Facilitates the conversion of the fixator from a rigid to a dynamic state, promoting natural bone healing by allowing micro-movements at the fracture site.
  • Enhanced Frame Stability: Provides additional stability to external fixator frames, especially in complex reconstructions or where increased load-bearing capacity is required.
  • Safeguard Against Collapse: Acts as a preventive measure against the collapse of bone segments during the healing process by maintaining controlled compression.

Key Features
  • Precise Linear Adjustment: Enables accurate control over the compression and distraction of bone segments, essential for procedures like limb lengthening and deformity correction.
  • Incremental Control: Designed to allow fine adjustments, often calibrated so that each full turn corresponds to a specific linear movement (e.g., 1 mm per turn), facilitating meticulous surgical planning.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for use in various external fixator configurations, including monolateral and circular frames, enhancing its applicability across different orthopedic procedures.
  • Reusable & Sterilizable: Engineered for repeated use, maintaining structural integrity and performance through multiple sterilization cycles.
  • Compact Design: Its streamlined profile minimizes bulk, making it ideal for use in anatomically constrained areas without compromising functionality.
