The Mini Hybrid External Fixator Kit is expertly crafted for treating small animal patients, particularly those weighing between 1 to 10 kg. This comprehensive kit is designed for veterinary surgeons needing precision and efficiency in procedures requiring circular or hybrid frame constructs. With its radiolucent materials, the fixator kit allows for clear radiographic imaging of fracture zones, even when positioned close to joints. Unlike traditional metal frames, which interfere with imaging, the materials in this kit ensure both intraoperative and postoperative visibility, supporting enhanced accuracy in treating complex fractures. Such features make it an invaluable asset for small animal orthopedics, ensuring that delicate bones can be repaired without compromising the surgeon’s ability to monitor and evaluate healing.

This Circular External Fixator Kit incorporates components that cater to the demands of precision surgical procedures. Equipped with specially designed Screwpin threaded pins and K wires with unique half-tips, the kit prioritizes bone integrity and optimal fixation. The Screwpin pins share characteristics with standard orthopedic screws and are self-tapping, allowing efficient insertion and achieving a high-quality thread in the bone. This ensures that the bone purchase will be the best possible one, allowing for longer fixator times compared to pins inserted with a technique that leads to a low-quality thread. By integrating these precise, easy-to-use components, the Mini Hybrid External Fixator Kit supports veterinarians in achieving stable and effective fracture fixation in small patients.

l Radiolucent Materials for Enhanced Visualization:-

One of the most significant advantages of the Mini Hybrid External Fixator Kit is its use of radiolucent materials in both circular and linear components. In contrast to traditional metal frames that obstruct radiographic imaging, the components in this kit allow clear visualization of the fracture area. This feature is especially beneficial for peri- or juxta-articular fractures, where accurate imaging is crucial for assessing fracture alignment and healing progression. The radiolucent quality of the materials used in the kit ensures that surgeons can continuously monitor the fracture site both during and after the procedure, optimizing patient outcomes through precise adjustments and interventions as needed.

l Screwpin Threaded Pins for Stability and Ease of Use:-

The threaded pins provided in the kit are Screwpin-type, with features that resemble those of orthopedic screws. These pins are self-tapping but not self-drilling, meaning that while they securely grip the bone upon insertion, they require pre-drilling before placement. This characteristic ensures that the pin fits seamlessly into the prepared bone channel. Since the pin diameters align with standard orthopedic screws, the same drill can be used for both, streamlining the process and minimizing potential errors. This alignment enhances the overall efficiency of the surgical procedure, as surgeons can quickly transition between pins and screws without needing to switch drills or reconfigure settings.

l K Wires with Half-Tip Design for Optimal Bone Penetration:-

Another feature that sets the Mini Hybrid External Fixator Kit apart is the inclusion of specialized K wires with a half-tip design. These K wires are engineered to penetrate even dense cortical bone layers with ease, reducing the likelihood of thermonecrosis around the insertion site. The half-tip design aids in preventing excessive heat buildup, which can damage surrounding tissues and compromise healing. With this feature, the K wires in the kit offer excellent bone-holding capacity, ensuring that they remain firmly in place throughout the healing period. By reducing the risk of wire loosening or movement, these K wires provide a stable foundation for successful fracture healing.

l Polilock Supports for Secure K Wire Fixation:-

The Polilock supports included in the Mini Hybrid External Fixator Kit offer an innovative solution for anchoring K wires to the frame's threaded bars. These supports eliminate the need for additional linear elements, enabling surgeons to create stable assemblies without complicating the construct. This feature is particularly advantageous when dealing with small, delicate bones, as it allows for precise K-wire placement and stability without adding bulk or compromising visibility around the surgical site. By minimizing the need for extra components, the Polilock supports streamline the fixation process, providing veterinarians with a simpler yet secure approach to bone repair.

The Mini Hybrid Circular External Fixator Kit is a highly specialized tool designed to meet the demands of small animal orthopedic procedures. Its radiolucent materials ensure optimal imaging visibility, while the Screwpin threaded pins and half-tip K wires enhance bone fixation without compromising patient safety. With the addition of Polilock supports, veterinary surgeons can achieve stable, effective constructs that support bone healing while maintaining simplicity and precision. This kit is an invaluable asset for veterinary professionals, providing all the necessary components to perform precise, high-quality fracture repairs in small animal patients.
