Horizontal Transport Device Unit
+ Description
The Horizontal Transport Device Unit is a mechanical component of external fixation systems used to gradually move a bone segment horizontally—commonly applied in cases of bone loss, non-union, or deformity correction. It is typically mounted on a ring or rail fixator and enables controlled transport of a bone fragment along a fixed axis. This process facilitates distraction osteogenesis, helping regenerate new bone in a defect or gap.
Material:
Main Body: Surgical-grade stainless steel (AISI 304 / 316L) or anodized aluminum
Threaded Rod & Drive: Hardened stainless steel or titanium
Handle/Knob: Stainless steel or polymer (in ergonomic versions)
Finish: Corrosion-resistant, biocompatible, fully autoclavable
+ Indications
- Bone Transport: Used in segmental bone defect reconstruction, such as after trauma, tumor resection, or infection.
- Limb Lengthening: Can assist in horizontal or oblique distraction when used in combination with vertical lengthening devices.
- Non-union Treatment: Helps realign and stabilize bone segments in complex non-unions by gradual controlled movement.
- Deformity Correction: Employed to correct lateral or angular deformities by shifting bone segments into ideal anatomical position.
- Frame Adjustments During Treatment: Permits in-situ correction or fine adjustments without needing frame removal or additional surgery.
+ Key Features
- Precise Linear Motion: Designed for controlled bone segment transport with 1mm/day adjustability.
- Threaded Drive Rod: Ensures smooth and accurate distraction along the horizontal axis.
- Mountable to External Fixators: Compatible with Ilizarov rings, rail systems, or hybrid frames.
- Bi-directional Movement: Allows for forward and reverse transport.
- Locking Mechanism: Prevents accidental displacement during non-adjustment phases.
- Reusable & Durable: Withstands mechanical loads over prolonged treatments.
