A temporary external knee distractor uses threaded rods and a rotating joint to unload cartilage while preserving natural motion during healing.
Motor-driven movable distractors and direct rod coupling improve craniofacial bone positioning accuracy while reducing complications.
A spring-loaded adjustment ring with notch-groove engagement prevents unintended external bone distractor activation and preserves stable incremental distraction.
Complementary head recesses and a dedicated torquing tool stop patient loosening while maintaining secure, low-cost fracture fixation.
Collapsible torque-amplifying levers and a screw joint enable tool-free external fixation with precise clamping and reduced loosening risk.
Hand-operated torque knobs let one multi-clamp precisely secure multiple bone pins without tools, reducing loosening risk in austere settings.
An intramedullary hook, wedge, and targeting arm enable controlled fragment lateralization and accurate screw placement in hallux valgus osteotomy.
Sliding and rotating clamp blocks reposition and temporarily fix bone during bunion surgery while reducing soft tissue trauma and healing time.
A movable securing assembly locks fixation rods and prevents clamp rotation, cutting surgical setup time and reducing side-specific inventory.
Integrated threaded rod and pin slots replace separate steel nuts, cutting fixation weight and application time while preserving stable limb support.
Spring pre-tensioning and a threaded tension element simplify external fixator clamp assembly while maintaining stable pin and rod fixation.
Closed-loop servo micromotion at the fracture site improves control of displacement and frequency to accelerate healing and reduce nonunion.
A ratchet assembly enables controlled bone compression or distraction while improving fixation stability and reducing reliance on patient compliance.
A six-degree-of-freedom external knee distractor unloads cartilage while preserving natural joint motion during osteoarthritis or fracture treatment.
Slots, recesses, and pre-loaded bolts help circular fixator rings prevent wire slippage while enabling faster orthopedic frame assembly.
Frustum-shaped friction surfaces let an external fixator joint hold bone fragments securely while allowing smooth, continuous angular alignment.
