Tubular Rods 8mm 1mm Well Thickness 150mm (6″)Orthopedic Ilizarov External Fixator Stainless Steel

Tubular rods with dimensions of 8mm in outer diameter, 1mm in well thickness, and 150mm (or 6 inches) in length are components used in orthopedic Ilizarov external fixators made of stainless steel.

These tubular rods, with their specified dimensions, are designed to provide stability and support in orthopedic surgeries involving bone fixation and alignment. They are part of the Ilizarov external fixator system, which includes rings, wires, pins, and connecting rods.

The 8mm outer diameter and 1mm wall thickness indicate the robustness and structural integrity of the rod, ensuring it can withstand the forces applied during the fixation process.

The 150mm (6 inches) length determines the span of the rod, which contributes to the overall stability and alignment of the fixator system.

Stainless steel is chosen for its strength, durability, and biocompatibility with the human body, making it suitable for use in orthopedic surgeries.

During surgery, these tubular rods are utilized to connect the rings or other components of the fixator system, helping to create a stable frame around the affected bone. This stability supports proper alignment and provides the necessary support for the bone to heal correctly.

Orthopedic surgeons commonly use Ilizarov external fixators in various orthopedic procedures, particularly in cases where traditional methods may be inadequate. These fixators allow for adjustments over time, facilitating gradual bone lengthening or realignment for optimal recovery and functionality.
