Product Overview
ANATOMICAL SITE: Humerus, Femur, Tibia
PROCEDURE: Fractures
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The XCaliber Fixator is made of radiolucent material for unobstructed X-ray visualization. The metallic bolts and the cam and bush of each ball-joint, are the only radio-opaque components.
Features & Benefits
As it is radiolucent and made of a composite material, the ball-joint deforms after repeated tightening. In addition the joint is sealed and cannot be dismantled for cleaning.
• Stable Fixation of Metaphyseal and Diaphyseal Fractures
• A single fixator for both metaphyseal and diaphyseal fractures
• Built-in bone screw convergence of 0-15 degrees
• Optional supplementary screw clamps
• Multiple bone screw fixation possibilities with the same clamp
• Stable fixation (even in short bone segments) achieved through convergent and/or triangular screw positions
• Ball-joints allow correction up to 22 degrees from straight position, in any direction, with fixator in place
• Ball-joints lock/unlock from either side. One instrument for fixator locking/unlocking
• Supplementary screw holder available for versatile screw placement
• Telescoping body for fracture reduction, compression/distraction and dynamization for callus maturation
• Dynamic C/D Unit for compression/distraction and early cyclic movement for callus stimulation
• Ideal in proximal and distal metaphysis
Physician Benefits
• Less O.R. time – ready to use with no assembly required.
• Single use – no maintenance and sterilization costs
• Less inventory, minimal instrumentation
• Xtraordinary – packaged as a sterile kit in three time-saving configurations, ready to use
