Limb Lengthing Fixator Small
The Small Limb Lengthening Fixator is a compact external fixator system specifically designed for distraction osteogenesis in short bones or pediatric patients. It enables controlled, gradual lengthening of bone segments through a minimally invasive approach, typically following a corticotomy (surgical bone cut). The device includes telescopic rods, sliding rails, or a distractor unit, mounted to Schanz pins or wires inserted into the bone.
It is especially suitable for the forearm, humerus, tibia, or metatarsal/metacarpal lengthening.
Material:
Main Structure: Anodized aluminum or carbon fiber (for lightweight and strength)
Clamps/Connectors: Stainless steel (AISI 304/316L) or titanium alloy
Distraction Mechanism: Hardened stainless steel screw thread or linear gear system
Pins: Surgical stainless steel or titanium (Ø2.0MM – Ø3.5MM, depending on application)
- Limb Length Discrepancy Correction: Used to lengthen short limbs due to congenital conditions, trauma, or growth plate disturbances.
- Pediatric Bone Lengthening: Ideal for children needing controlled bone elongation of the radius, ulna, humerus, or tibia.
- Post-Traumatic Bone Defect Bridging: Helps close bone gaps after resection of dead bone or bone loss from infection.
- Deformity Correction: Can perform angular, rotational, and segmental corrections in complex limb deformities.
- Metatarsal or Metacarpal Lengthening: Used in orthopedic or reconstructive surgeries to lengthen hand or foot bones, especially in congenital hand/foot differences.
- Compact Design: Ideal for children and small-bone procedures (hand, forearm, foot).
- Gradual Distraction Control: Allows 1mm/day distraction, typically in 0.25mm increments.
- Radiolucent Options Available: Clear X-ray visualization with carbon fiber rods.
- Multiplanar Clamping: Enables complex 3D corrections for angular or rotational deformities.
- Reusable Frame Components: Cost-effective for multiple cases.
- Ergonomic Adjusting Mechanism: Easy-to-turn distraction knobs for precise daily adjustments.
- Fully Sterilizable: Autoclavable parts for OR use.
