Foot Ring Long Aluminum
The Foot Ring Long – Aluminum is a long arc ring segment designed for use in foot and ankle external fixator constructs. With its elongated profile, it offers extended fixation area, providing multiple anchoring points for Schanz pins, K-wires, and rods. The ring is made of high-grade anodized aluminum, combining durability with lightweight handling—making it especially suitable for use in pediatric patients, mobile adults, or where reduced frame weight is desired. It is frequently used in modular circular frame systems for treating trauma, deformity correction, bone lengthening, and Charcot foot reconstruction. Material: High-strength Anodized Aluminum Alloy (typically 6061-T6 or similar surgical-grade) Offers excellent corrosion resistance, low weight, and biocompatibility Surface Finish: Anodized surface for enhanced wear and oxidation resistance Fully autoclavable and reusable
- Foot Deformity Correction – Assists in procedures like flatfoot correction, cavus foot, and post-traumatic realignment.
- Fracture Stabilization – Offers stable fixation in calcaneal, midfoot, and talar fractures, often in limb-salvage scenarios.
- Limb Lengthening & Distraction Osteogenesis – Provides distal anchorage for tibial or metatarsal lengthening using circular fixator systems.
- Diabetic & Charcot Foot Management – Used in offloading deformities and stabilizing compromised bones in diabetic patients.
- Lightweight Frame Configurations – Suitable for ambulatory patients, elderly, or pediatric cases where minimizing weight is crucial.
- Extended Arc Design – Offers wide coverage for multi-point fixation in complex foot structures.
- Lightweight Construction – Reduces overall frame weight, improving patient comfort and mobility.
- Precision-Machined Holes – Compatible with a wide range of external fixation hardware.
- Radiolucent-Friendly – Although metallic, aluminum has less radiographic obstruction compared to steel.
- Easy to Handle – Lower weight benefits surgeons during frame assembly and patients during recovery.
- Reusable & Sterilizable – Built for multiple cycles of surgical use.
