Universal Wire Fixation Bolt
The Universal Wire Fixation Bolt** is a precision-engineered fastener used in orthopedic external fixation systems, specifically for securing Ilizarov wires (typically Ø1.5MM or Ø1.8MM) onto circular or semicircular rings. It is compatible with most types of wire fixation blocks, washers, and rings, making it a standard component in Ilizarov and hybrid fixation setups. The bolt often features a slotted or cannulated tip to accommodate the wire and allow compression via tightening, creating a firm mechanical hold and minimizing the risk of wire slippage during loading or limb movement. Material: Body & Threads: Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316L or AISI 304) Optional: Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) for lightweight applications Surface: Polished or passivated for enhanced corrosion resistance Autoclavable and reusable
- Ilizarov Frame Construction – Secures tensioned wires to rings, forming a stable fixation environment for limb lengthening or deformity correction.
- Bone Transport & Lengthening Procedures – Maintains rigid fixation during distraction osteogenesis and segmental transport.
- Hybrid Fixation Systems – Used alongside half pins and modular clamps in complex limb reconstructions.
- Pediatric & Adult Trauma – Adaptable to different bone sizes and wire diameters, suitable for both adult and pediatric external fixators.
- Universal Compatibility – Fits standard Ilizarov rings and most wire fixation blocks.
- High Tensile Strength – Prevents loosening under dynamic loading.
- Slotted or Cannulated Tip – Allows easy wire placement and firm grip.
- Threaded Shaft – Ensures gradual and secure tightening.
- Reusable Design – Sterilizable for repeated surgical use.
- Corrosion-Resistant – Built for long-term implantation if necessary.
