Hemispherical washer rxlucent 10x15

The 10x15 mm Radiolucent Hemispherical Washer is a fundamental component in the field of external fixation applied to small patients. Designed to meet the specific needs of trauma procedures, this hemispherical washer offers unique features and significant benefits.

With an internal diameter of 10 mm and an external diameter of 15 mm, this radiolucent hemispherical washer is made of radiolucent material. This feature is essential to allow the correct radiographic evaluation of the involved bone segments. This greatly simplifies the post-operative monitoring process and ensures a better assessment of healing progress.

The washer is designed to mechanically fit the hemispherical nuts of the series (specify the codes of the hemispherical nuts). This allows the use of the bevel gear, essential to be able to position the threaded rods inclined with respect to the plane of the ring and to build frames with the rings not parallel to each other. This possibility represents the basis of the "bone priority" logic, in which the fundamental element is represented by the possibility of correctly realigning the bone segment, even if the structure of the fixator is not perfectly cylindrical. This differs from "implant priority" systems, in which the structure of the fixator is geometrically perfectly cylindrical, and the bone must be translated within the structure, with all the related technical problems.

In conclusion, the 10x15 mm Radiolucent Hemispherical Washer is a relevant component in the context of external fixation, particularly for its use in traumatology.
