Pediatric Slotted Rods are structural components used within Pediatric Orthopedic External Fixation systems, functioning as Connecting Rod Components that integrate with other External Fixator elements to create the required Frame Geometry according to anatomy, fixation site, and the surgical plan.
The product is classified as a Slotted Rod within the Pediatric External Fixation product family and is shown with an elongated body featuring a Surface Geometry extending along the Rod, designed to interface with compatible Connecting Components within the fixation system.
According to the provided product data, the range is listed under the general reference:
Cat. No.: AMS 603.007
The table lists configurations with lengths of 40 mm and 50 mm. The Cat. No. and GTIN for the 40 mm configuration are fully documented, as are those for one 50 mm configuration. However, an additional 50 mm row appears in the source without a corresponding Cat. No. or GTIN Number.
The compact Rod lengths provide suitable options when constructing Compact Pediatric External Fixation Constructs requiring limited spacing between Frame Components. Final configuration selection should be based on Frame Geometry, Pediatric Anatomy, Component Compatibility, and Intraoperative Assembly Requirements.
Product Description
A Pediatric Slotted Rod is a Structural Connecting Component used within Pediatric External Skeletal Fixation systems to connect or arrange components of the Fixator Frame.
Its general role within the system can be represented as follows:
Pediatric Ring / Frame Component → Connector → Slotted Rod → External Fixator Component
The appropriate length is selected according to the spacing between Frame Components and the required Fixator Configuration.
Product Components and Design
- Rod Body
The main longitudinal body of the Rod, functioning as a Structural Connection Element within the External Fixation Construct.
- Slotted / Surface Connection Geometry
The product is officially designated as Slotted Rods and is shown with a surface geometry extending along its body.
The provided table does not adequately specify:
- Slot Dimensions
- Thread Pitch
- Thread Standard
- Connection Profile
Therefore, these specifications should not be stated without reference to the official Technical Datasheet.
- Proximal Connection End
One end of the Rod intended for connection with a compatible Connector or Frame Component.
- Distal Connection End
The opposite end, used to complete the structural connection within the Fixator Construct.
- Length-Specific Configuration
The lengths shown in the provided table are:
40 mm and 50 mm
Product Use
Pediatric Slotted Rods are used within compatible Pediatric External Fixation systems as connecting elements between Frame Components.
Depending on the fixation system design and approved indications, they may be incorporated into:
- Pediatric External Fracture Fixation
- Pediatric Bone Segment Stabilization
- Modular External Fixation Constructs
- Circular External Fixation Systems
- Pediatric Orthopedic Reconstruction
- Connection of Pediatric Rings, Half Rings, C-Rings, and compatible components
- Adjustment of Component Spacing within the Fixation Frame
Selection of the appropriate Rod Length depends on:
- Pediatric Limb Anatomy
- Distance Between Frame Components
- Fixation Site
- Required Frame Geometry
- Ring Position
- Component Compatibility
- Preoperative Frame Planning
- Intraoperative Frame Assembly
The product should be used with compatible system components and in accordance with the applicable IFU, Assembly Instructions, and Surgical Technique.
