Hinge Male
The Hinge Male is a precision-engineered component featuring an external thread and an articulating pivot designed to work in tandem with a Hinge Female. This part forms one half of a hinged joint in external fixation constructs, particularly useful for controlled motion, angular deformity correction, or joint-spanning configurations. Its external threading ensures strong, secure engagement with a corresponding female threaded connector, enabling modular integration into circular, rail, or hybrid fixator systems. The hinge mechanism allows precise angular movement, while optional locking mechanisms permit rigid fixation when required. Material: Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316L) – ensures strength, durability, and corrosion resistance Optional Materials: Titanium Alloy – for lightweight, MRI-compatible versions Anodized Aluminum – for non-load bearing or pediatric applications Surface Finish: Polished or matte finish Autoclavable and biocompatible
- Joint-Spanning Fixators (Elbow, Knee, Ankle) – Provides range of motion while maintaining stability across a joint.
- Angular Deformity Correction – Allows for progressive angular adjustments in bone alignment.
- Controlled Distraction with Flexibility – Used in distraction osteogenesis where both length and angle need to be adjusted.
- Multiplanar Frame Systems – Adds articulation to frames in circular, hybrid, or rail systems.
- Dynamic Postoperative Support – Facilitates early mobilization without compromising structural integrity.
- External Threaded Shaft – For secure engagement with Hinge Female or other components.
- Articulating Hinge Mechanism – Enables dynamic angular movement.
- Lockable Design (if applicable) – Allows for both free motion and static fixation.
- Precision Machined – Ensures smooth articulation and perfect fit.
- Reusable & Sterilizable – Long-lasting and easy to clean.
- Wide Compatibility – Works with most major external fixator systems.
