Short Connection Plate Carbon Fibre Adult
+ Description
The Carbon Fibre Short Connection Plate (Adult) is a high-performance, lightweight component designed to connect structural elements—such as rods, rings, or clamps—in external fixation frames, especially in adult orthopedic procedures. It provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, allowing rigid fixation while minimizing the overall weight of the construct.
Unlike traditional stainless steel plates, this plate is made from radiolucent carbon fibre, enabling clear post-operative imaging (X-ray/CT/MRI) without obstruction. The design often includes multiple screw holes or elongated slots to allow adjustable positioning and secure locking with bolts or threaded rods.
Material:
Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composite – high-strength, lightweight, and radiolucent
Core Benefits:
Non-magnetic – safe for use in MRI
Radiolucent – allows clear post-op imaging
Corrosion-resistant & biocompatible
+ Indications
- Connecting Fixator Components – Joins rods to rings, or clamp-to-rod configurations in adult frames.
- Lightweight Frame Construction – Reduces overall fixator weight, improving patient comfort and mobility.
- Imaging Clarity – Useful in complex fractures or healing assessments where unobstructed radiographs are needed.
- Limb Lengthening & Deformity Correction – Supports dynamic structures that require precise, rigid linkages.
- Hybrid Fixation Systems – Integrates seamlessly into carbon fibre-based or mixed-material constructs.
+ Key Features
- Lightweight yet Strong – Ideal for adult weight-bearing frames.
- Radiolucent Construction – No imaging interference during follow-ups.
- Multiple Slots or Holes – Flexible configuration and secure connections.
- Low Profile & Compact – Comfortable for patient and suitable for anatomical contours.
- MRI-Compatible – No magnetic interference.
- Reusable & Autoclavable – Designed for repeated sterilization and use.
