Graduated Telescopic Rod
The Graduated Telescopic Rod is a specialized version of the telescopic rod, engineered with laser-etched or engraved graduation markings to provide real-time visual feedback during length adjustments. It is used in external fixation systems to perform controlled distraction, compression, or bone segment transport in limb lengthening and deformity correction procedures. Its telescoping design allows the surgeon to lengthen or shorten the rod smoothly, while the graduations (typically in millimeters) help monitor the amount of movement without needing external measurement tools. This enhances accuracy during staged adjustments and simplifies postoperative follow-up. Material: Outer Tube: Stainless Steel (AISI 316L) or Anodized Aluminum – for high strength and corrosion resistance Inner Rod: High-precision Stainless Steel or Titanium Alloy – for smooth movement and long-term durability Graduations: Laser-marked or engraved scale in millimeter increments Resistant to wear and sterilization cycles
- Limb Lengthening (Distraction Osteogenesis) – Allows for precise and incremental lengthening of bone segments.
- Bone Transport in Segmental Defects – Moves a bone fragment across a gap with measurable progress control.
- Angular & Linear Deformity Correction – Offers a controlled method to correct bone alignment over time.
- Monitoring Postoperative Adjustments – Graduated markings allow surgeons and patients to visually confirm adjustments.
- Pediatric and Small Limb Applications – Shorter graduated rods are ideal for fine-tuned length changes in pediatric cases.
- Graduated Scale – Clear millimeter markings for accurate adjustment tracking.
- Adjustable Length – Smooth telescopic function for distraction or compression.
- Locking Mechanism – Threaded or clamp-based locking for secure positioning.
- Modular Compatibility – Works with standard ring, rail, or hybrid fixator frames.
- Reusable & Autoclavable – Long-lasting under repeated sterilization.
- Available Lengths – Commonly ranges from 100mm to 300mm adjustable lengths.
