Self Adjusting Clamp
The Self-Adjusting Clamp is a specialized orthopedic clamp used in external fixator assemblies to secure Schanz pins or connecting rods. What sets it apart is its ability to automatically adapt to different pin angles or diameters without manual re-adjustment, offering faster, more flexible frame construction. These clamps are particularly useful in complex anatomical regions or during procedures requiring multiplanar pin insertion.
The clamp typically features a hinged or spring-loaded mechanism that grips the pins/rods firmly once inserted, streamlining surgical setup.
Material:
Body:
Stainless Steel (AISI 304/316L) – For high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance
Spring/Adjustable Mechanism:
Hardened stainless steel or titanium alloy
Finish:
Smooth, satin or matte finish for low reflectivity and improved surgical visibility
Sterilization:
Fully autoclavable and reusable
- External Fixator Construction: Used in monolateral, hybrid, and circular fixator frames to connect Schanz pins or rods efficiently.
- Limb Lengthening & Bone Transport: Provides flexible pin orientation when setting up distraction osteogenesis systems.
- Complex Fracture Stabilization: Especially useful for non-parallel pin placements in irregular fracture geometries.
- Pediatric & Deformity Correction Frames: Accommodates anatomical variation and growth in pediatric deformity correction.
- Emergency & Temporary Stabilization: Ideal for quick setups in trauma cases, allowing fast and stable fixation even in suboptimal conditions.
- Self-Aligning Jaw Mechanism: Accommodates varying angles and diameters without repositioning.
- Universal Compatibility: Can fit both Schanz pins and rods of various sizes (e.g., Ø4.0MM–Ø6.0MM).
- Quick Assembly: Reduces surgical time with tool-less or single-tool tightening.
- Compact & Lightweight: Low profile for use in anatomically tight areas.
- Secure Locking: Ensures stable fixation under load.
- Multiplanar Support: Enables fixation at oblique or variable insertion angles.
- Durable & Reusable: Withstands repeated sterilization and long-term use.
