Product Overview

DISTRACTOR 6480172 PARALLEL CAPTURING
N/A - 6480172


Device Description

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to invasively distract (force apart) two bone surfaces to enable a surgical procedure. It typically aids in fracture reduction by helping to temporarily stabilize bones prior to definitive surgical fixation. It typically consists of a central threaded spindle, a static endpiece and a sliding carriage that can be adjusted using spindle nuts to/from the endpiece to widen or shorten the gap; it facilitates the attachment of orthopaedic bone pins (Schanz screws) screwed into the bones to be distracted. It is typically used for multiple injuries when it is advantageous to perform procedures on a standard operating table. This is a reusable device.
