Connection Bolt
The Connection Bolt is a fundamental hardware component in external fixation systems, used to securely join two or more frame elements such as rods, clamps, plates, or rings. It typically features a fully or partially threaded shaft, along with a hex head or slotted head for tightening. Its precise threading ensures a strong mechanical lock while allowing quick assembly or disassembly during surgical procedures or post-operative adjustments. Connection bolts are available in various diameters and lengths, depending on the fixator system and components being used. Material: Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316L) Optional: Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) for lightweight needs Properties: High tensile strength Biocompatible and corrosion-resistant Sterilizable and reusable (subject to condition and protocol)
- Joining Fixator Components – Connects rods to clamps, plates to rings, or posts to bars in modular systems.
- Stabilizing Frame Structures – Provides mechanical integrity to the external frame during limb stabilization or deformity correction.
- Angular or Length Adjustments – Allows controlled movement or locking of adjustable elements in the frame.
- Pediatric and Adult Frames – Used in both small and large fixation systems for trauma, reconstruction, or lengthening.
- Temporary or Long-Term Fixation – Suitable for both intra-operative use and long-term external frame support.
- High-Precision Threading – Ensures secure, vibration-resistant connections.
- Standard Hex/Slotted Head – Easy tightening with standard tools.
- Various Sizes Available – Compatible with different fixator systems.
- Reusable – Durable for multiple surgical applications (as per guidelines).
- Smooth Finish – Minimizes tissue irritation when exposed.
