Short Connection Plate
The Short Connection Plate is a flat or contoured metallic plate used to connect and stabilize rods, rings, or clamps within an external fixation construct. Designed with multiple holes or slots, it allows for the rigid attachment of different frame elements at close distances, ensuring frame integrity, alignment, and strength in compact configurations. This component is especially valuable in small or confined anatomical areas or where a short, reinforced link is required between adjacent parts. Material: Material Options: Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316L) – standard version for high durability Anodized Aluminum – lightweight option for pediatric or less load-bearing needs Surface Finish: Smooth or bead-blasted matte finish Fully autoclavable and biocompatible
- Connecting Frame Components – Joins rods, rings, or clamps in small sections of a fixator.
- Reinforcing Fixation Stability – Adds extra rigidity to areas under mechanical stress.
- Angular or Offset Construction – Allows for angled connections or custom geometries within frames.
- Pediatric and Small Bone Applications – Perfect for short-length connections in distal radius, hand, or foot frames.
- Temporary or Final Frame Locking – Used to lock in final configurations once frame adjustments are complete.
- Short & Compact Design – Ideal for tight anatomical spaces.
- Multiple Pre-Drilled Holes/Slots – For variable screw or bolt positioning.
- High Strength & Rigidity – Ensures structural stability in the fixation frame.
- Corrosion-Resistant Material – Safe for long-term implantation.
- Modular Compatibility – Works with a wide range of rods, clamps, and fixator parts.
- Reusable & Easy to Sterilize – Designed for repeated surgical use.
