Sandwich Clamp
The Sandwich Clamp is a robust, double-faced orthopedic clamp used to secure two rods in parallel or intersecting configurations within an external fixator frame. Its unique layered (or "sandwich") design allows it to firmly hold structural elements on both sides, offering excellent frame stability and rigidity.
It is commonly used in limb lengthening, deformity correction, and bone transport procedures where dual-rod support is needed for added strength or frame customization.
Material Composition:
Constructed from high-grade AISI 316L STAINLESS STEEL for strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.
Fully compatible with TITANIUM SCHANZ PINS and standard external fixator rods.
Engineered for repeated sterilization and long-term clinical use.
The Sandwich Clamp is essential for connecting and stabilizing dual-rod constructs in orthopedic external fixation. It plays a critical role in advanced frame configurations where strength, alignment, and adjustability are key.
- Dual-Rod Fixation in Long Bone Fractures: Allows secure connection of two rods in parallel for enhanced structural support, particularly in femoral and tibial fractures.
- Limb Lengthening & Bone Transport: Facilitates frame designs that require multiple rods to support bone movement during distraction or segment transport.
- Deformity Correction Frames: Enables complex, multi-axial frame construction to accommodate angular, translational, and rotational corrections.
- Frame Reinforcement: Used to increase rigidity in unstable or load-bearing sections of the external fixator frame.
- Hybrid Frame Assembly: Ideal for building hybrid configurations that combine features of ring and rail fixators.
- Dual-Sided Clamping: “Sandwich” design securely holds two rods in parallel or intersecting alignment, enhancing frame rigidity.
- High Torque Stability: Provides exceptional resistance to bending or rotational forces—ideal for high-stress applications.
- Frame Versatility: Enables complex frame configurations in limb reconstruction, transport, or angular correction setups.
- Easy Assembly & Adjustment: Allows for fast tightening and repositioning during surgery, streamlining intraoperative workflow.
- Compact Yet Strong: Minimizes bulk while maintaining high structural integrity—suitable for both upper and lower limb applications.
- Reusable & Sterilizable: Built for repeated clinical use and can withstand multiple autoclave cycles without performance loss.
