Ball Joint Coupling Clamp
The Ball Joint Coupling Clamp is a specialized orthopedic clamp designed to provide high degrees of articulation between two rods or pins within an external fixation frame. It features a ball-and-socket joint that allows for 360° rotational movement and angular adjustment in multiple planes, giving surgeons exceptional flexibility in frame customization and alignment correction.
This clamp plays a crucial role in the construction of circular, hybrid, or spatial frame systems where dynamic orientation and frame adaptability are critical for patient-specific treatment.
Material Composition:
Precision-machined from AISI 316L STAINLESS STEEL for superior strength, biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance.
Compatible with TITANIUM SCHANZ PINS and standard external fixator rods.
Built to withstand repeated use and sterilization without degradation in performance.
- The Ball Joint Coupling Clamp is a versatile, precision-hinged connector used in external fixation systems and surgical instrument assemblies. Its ball-and-socket mechanism allows for multi-axial positioning, offering flexible and secure connections between rods, pins, or other fixation components.
- Primary Uses: External Fixation Systems – Connects rods to each other or to bone pins in circular, hybrid, or unilateral external fixators. – Allows 3D adjustment for proper alignment of fractured bone segments.
- Multi-axial Positioning – Provides universal angulation and fine-tuned positioning during surgical procedures or postoperative adjustments.
- Fracture Management – Facilitates customized alignment in complex fracture patterns, especially in open or comminuted fractures
- Limb Deformity Correction – Used in Ilizarov or Taylor spatial frames for gradual bone lengthening or angular correction.
- Temporary Joint Stabilization – Helps maintain relative bone positioning while allowing some physiological movement.
- Intraoperative Flexibility – Allows the surgeon to easily reposition clamps or rods without full disassembly.
- Modular Fixation Systems – Integral to modular frame systems, where it allows for dynamic adjustments without compromising stability.

- Full Range Articulation: Ball-and-socket design permits multi-axial movement, ideal for frames requiring complex spatial orientation.
- Rigid Locking Mechanism: Once the desired position is set, the clamp locks securely, ensuring frame stability even under mechanical stress.
- Versatile Coupling: Joins two rods or pins at adjustable angles—critical in fracture realignment, limb lengthening, and deformity correction.
- Frame Adaptability: Enhances modularity and customization of external fixator setups, especially in hybrid or multiplanar systems.
- Compact Profile: Optimized for minimal bulk while maintaining high mechanical strength, making it suitable for use in anatomically constrained regions.
- Reusable & Sterilizable: Maintains accuracy and reliability after multiple sterilization cycles, ensuring safe, repeated clinical use.
