Oblique Support With Thread
The Oblique Support with Thread is a specialized angled connector designed to provide diagonal or oblique reinforcement between components in an external fixation frame, such as rings, rods, or plates. It features threaded ends for secure attachment to clamps, sockets, or rods, allowing surgeons to create triangular or angular support structures that significantly improve construct rigidity. This component is particularly useful in Ilizarov-type circular frames, hybrid external fixators, and limb lengthening systems, where maintaining frame geometry under dynamic loading is critical. Material Options: Medical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316L) – offers high strength and corrosion resistance Anodized Aluminum Alloy – provides lightweight alternatives for less demanding applications Threading: Precision external threading on one or both ends (standard compatible thread) Finish: Matte or polished surface finish Autoclavable and reusable
- Frame Reinforcement in Ilizarov or Hybrid Fixators – Provides triangular bracing, enhancing structural strength.
- Correction of Angular Deformities – Supports angled fixation needed during bone realignment or lengthening.
- Limb Stabilization Under Load – Minimizes frame movement or flex under weight-bearing or muscle tension.
- Supplemental Fixation in Long Bone Fractures – Acts as a bracing member to reduce stress at weak points in the construct.
- Pediatric & Small Limb Applications – Enables precision frame building with space-saving angular components.
- Angled Support Design – Facilitates diagonal or triangulated connections in the frame.
- Threaded Ends – Ensures secure, vibration-resistant fixation.
- High Rigidity – Provides additional mechanical strength and support.
- Modular Compatibility – Works with standard fixator clamps, rods, and sockets.
- Reusable & Sterilizable – Suitable for repeated surgical use.
- Improved Frame Stability – Helps maintain alignment under load and during motion.
