Set Screw Use With Block For Half Pin
+ Description
The Set Screw is a small but critical component used in conjunction with clamping blocks to secure half pins (Schanz pins) in external fixation systems. It is typically inserted through the threaded portion of the block and tightened directly onto the shaft of the half pin to lock it firmly in place. This mechanism ensures precise alignment, stability, and resistance to micromotion, especially in trauma, deformity correction, and limb reconstruction cases where rigid fixation is essential. 🧪 Material: Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316L) Optional: Titanium or High-Strength Alloy Steel Properties: High tensile strength Corrosion-resistant Biocompatible Autoclavable and reusable
+ Indications
- Locking Half Pins in Hybrid or Monolateral Frames – Ensures stability of half pins within connecting blocks.
- External Fixator Frame Assembly – Commonly used in distal radius, tibial, or femoral fixator constructs.
- Intraoperative Adjustability – Allows surgeon to adjust pin position before final locking.
- Pediatric or Mini-Fixator Systems – Small set screw variants are used in delicate or compact configurations.
- Deformity Correction Frames – Helps maintain exact pin orientation when performing gradual corrections.
+ Key Features
- Fine Threading – Allows precise torque application without slippage.
- Hex or Torx Drive – Enables easy tightening with standard instruments.
- Low Profile Head – Prevents soft tissue irritation.
- Secure Pin Locking – Prevents rotation and axial movement of the half pin.
- Reusable – Withstands repeated tightening cycles.
