Wire Fixation Bolt Slotted
The Wire Fixation Bolt – Slotted is a precision component used in external fixation systems to securely fix Ilizarov wires or K-wires to rings or posts. Unlike the cannulated type, this bolt features a longitudinal slot along its shaft, allowing it to clamp around a wire without needing to be threaded over it. This design allows for side-loading of the wire, making it particularly useful when the wire is already placed or tensioned. The bolt is then inserted into a threaded hole on a ring or clamp, and as it's tightened, the slot compresses to grip the wire firmly in place. Material: Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316L or similar) Properties: Rust- and corrosion-resistant Biocompatible High mechanical strength Fully sterilizable (autoclavable)
- Ilizarov Ring Fixation Systems – Provides quick, secure anchoring of wires to full or half rings.
- Frame Adjustments and Postoperative Modifications – Ideal for adding or repositioning wires without removing other frame components.
- Bone Lengthening and Deformity Corrections – Used to maintain wire alignment under tension during gradual bone transport.
- Pediatric Orthopedics – Allows for gentle handling and quick fixation on fine, small-diameter wires.
- Hybrid External Fixators – Used with clamps, rods, and ring connectors in mixed frame configurations.
- Slotted Body Design – Allows easy wire insertion from the side.
- Secure Clamping – Prevents wire slippage under tension.
- Threaded Base – Compatible with Ilizarov rings or fixation clamps.
- Quick Application – No need to thread over the wire like cannulated bolts.
