Half Ring – Stainless Steel
The Half Ring is a semi-circular component made from surgical-grade stainless steel, designed for use in circular external fixator systems, particularly the Ilizarov apparatus. It serves as a rigid support structure for the attachment of K-wires, Schanz pins, or threaded rods. Multiple half rings can be connected together to form 3/4 rings, full rings, or custom configurations, depending on the clinical requirement. These are used to stabilize bone fragments during procedures such as limb lengthening, deformity correction, fracture fixation, and non-union treatments. Material: Primary Material: Stainless Steel (AISI 316L or 304) Biocompatible, corrosion-resistant, and durable Finish: Polished or matte surface for reduced glare in surgical settings Fully autoclavable and reusable
- Limb Lengthening Procedures – Used in distraction osteogenesis to guide and support controlled bone growth.
- Complex Fracture Fixation – Stabilizes multi-fragmentary fractures of the tibia, femur, or humerus using circular fixation.
- Angular & Rotational Deformity Correction – Allows gradual correction using hinges and threaded rods.
- Non-Union & Bone Transport Cases – Helps in managing bone gaps or failed healing by forming stable circular constructs.
- Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery – Frequently used in growth-related deformity corrections due to adjustable, modular design.
- High Strength & Durability – Withstands mechanical loading during limb correction.
- Precise Pre-Drilled Holes – Allows accurate positioning of tension wires or pins.
- Modular Design – Can be assembled into various ring configurations (1/2, 3/4, full).
- Standardized Sizes – Compatible with most Ilizarov-type fixator systems.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish – Ensures long-term reliability and safety.
- Reusable & Sterilizable – Withstands repeated use without compromising integrity.
