T-Clamps are mechanical connection components used within Orthopedic External Fixation systems. They function as Connecting / Fixation Clamps to assist in connecting and positioning External Fixator components within the planned Frame Construct.
The product features a T-Shaped Clamp Configuration that provides a Mechanical Interface for integration with compatible components within the External Fixation system, such as Rods or Pin / Connecting Elements, according to system Compatibility and Assembly Instructions.
According to the provided product data, the range is available in two primary configurations:
Short T-Clamp
under the code:
AMS 604.006.004
and:
Long T-Clamp
under the code:
AMS 604.007.004
The availability of Short and Long Configurations allows selection of the appropriate Clamp Variant according to Frame Geometry, Component Position, Required Connection Arrangement, and the characteristics of the External Fixation Construct.
The product family is listed under the general references:
AMS 604.006 / AMS 604.007
Each variant also carries an individual GTIN Number, supporting Product Identification, Product Traceability, Procurement, Surgical Set Preparation, Inventory Management, and Stock Control.
Product Description
A T-Clamp is a Mechanical Connection Component used within External Skeletal Fixation systems to connect or secure structural components of the External Fixator.
Its general role within the system can be represented as follows:
Rod / Pin / Frame Component → T-Clamp → Connecting Component → External Fixator Construct
The Clamp functions as part of the Mechanical Assembly, helping to construct and arrange the Frame according to the fixation system design.
The range is available in:
Short | Long
Product Components and Design
- Clamp Body
The main body of the T-Clamp, designed to function as a Structural Connection Interface between External Fixator components.
- Transverse Connection Section
The transverse section of the T-Clamp forms one element of the T-Shaped Geometry and provides a Connection Area for compatible components.
- Secondary Connection Interface
The other section of the Clamp is used for integration with a Rod, Pin, or another Frame Component according to the fixation system design.
- Locking / Fastening Features
The product incorporates Mechanical Fastening Features intended to secure the connection after component assembly.
However, the provided data do not specify the type of Locking Mechanism or the dimensions of compatible Fasteners.
- Short & Long Configurations
The product family is available in two versions:
- Short
- Long
providing more than one Clamp Geometry for External Fixator Assembly.
Product Use
T-Clamps are used within compatible Orthopedic External Fixation systems to connect and position components of the Fixator Frame.
Depending on the fixation system design, they may be used with components such as:
- Connecting Rods
- Schanz Pins / Screws
- External Fixation Frame Components
- Rings or Arches through compatible connections
- Other Modular Fixator Elements
Selection of the Short or Long Configuration depends on:
- External Fixator Geometry
- Component Position
- Connection Orientation
- Required Spacing
- Fixation Construct Design
- Preoperative Planning
- Intraoperative Frame Assembly
The Clamp should only be used with compatible components and in accordance with the applicable IFU and Assembly Instructions of the fixation system.
Key Benefits
Two Clamp Configurations
