6.0MM Tapered Threaded Pins | Cortical Shaft Tapered Ø6.0-5.0 MM
+ Description
These tapered threaded pins are designed for orthopedic external fixation systems, specifically targeting the cortical bone—the dense outer layer of long bones. The tapering from Ø6.0 mm to Ø5.0 mm facilitates easier insertion and enhanced fixation stability. They are commonly used in procedures such as limb lengthening, deformity correction, and fracture stabilization
Indications
- Fracture Stabilization: These pins are integral to external fixation systems for stabilizing complex fractures, including open or comminuted fractures, by providing secure anchorage in the cortical bone.
- Limb Lengthening Procedures: Utilized in distraction osteogenesis, they facilitate gradual bone lengthening by maintaining alignment and stability during the lengthening process.
- Deformity Correction: Employed in correcting angular or rotational deformities, these pins allow for precise adjustments in external fixator frames to realign bone structures.
- Non-Union and Malunion Management: In cases where bones have not healed properly (non-union) or have healed in an incorrect position (malunion), these pins provide the necessary stability for corrective procedures.
- Joint Arthrodesis: During surgical joint fusion procedures, these pins offer rigid fixation to maintain the desired position until fusion is achieved.
Key Features
- Tapered Design: The gradual taper from Ø6.0 mm to Ø5.0 mm allows for smoother insertion into the bone, reducing insertion torque and minimizing bone stress.
- Threaded Surface: The threading provides secure anchorage within the cortical bone, enhancing stability and reducing the risk of pin loosening over time.
- Material Composition: Manufactured from high-quality AISI 316L STAINLESS STEEL, ensuring strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.
- Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with standard external fixator systems and TITANIUM SCHANZ PINS, offering versatility in various surgical applications.
- Size Variations: Available in multiple lengths and thread lengths to accommodate different anatomical and procedural requirements.
