Oval Washers are auxiliary components used within Orthopedic External Fixation systems. They feature an external Oval Profile with a central opening that forms an interface between the Fastener and the compatible structural component within the External Fixator Construct.
The primary role of the Washer is to function as a Supporting Interface during Mechanical Assembly. It is used together with a compatible Bolt or Fastening Component according to the fixation system design, supporting an organized Connection Arrangement between External Fixator components.
According to the provided product data, the product family is listed under the general reference:
Cat. No.: AMS 602.041
The range is available in two diameter options: Ø12 mm and Ø16 mm, providing different configurations that may be selected according to the Compatible Fastener, Connection Geometry, Frame Component, and External Fixation Construct assembly requirements.
Each diameter carries an individual Cat. No. and GTIN Number, supporting Product Identification, Product Traceability, Surgical Set Preparation, Procurement, Inventory Management, and Stock Control.
Product Description
An Oval Washer is a Mechanical Supporting Component used within fixation systems to create an interface between a Fastener and the component being secured.
Within External Fixation systems, its general role can be represented as follows:
Bolt / Fastener → Oval Washer → External Fixator Component
The product features an oval external profile with a Central Opening designed to accommodate or interface with a compatible Fastening Component according to the fixation system design.
Product Components and Design
- Oval Washer Body
The main body of the Washer, designed with an Oval-Shaped Profile.
This geometry distinguishes the component from a Standard Round Washer and allows it to be incorporated into the specific Connection Geometry of the fixation system.
- Central Opening
The Washer incorporates a central opening intended for use with a compatible Bolt / Fastener.
The precise dimensions of the opening are not specified in the provided table.
- Supporting Surface
The flat surface of the Washer functions as an interface between the Fastener and the corresponding component within the Fixator Construct.
- Diameter-Specific Configuration
The product range is available in:
- Ø12 mm
- Ø16 mm
according to the provided product data.
Product Use
Oval Washers are used within compatible Orthopedic External Fixation systems as auxiliary components during Assembly and Fastening between Fixator components.
Depending on the fixation system design, they may be used with:
- Connection Bolts
- Connection Plates
- Rings
- Half Rings
- Arches
- Rod Connections
- Clamps
- Other compatible External Fixation Components
Selection of the appropriate Washer Configuration depends on:
- Compatible Fastener Diameter
- Connection Geometry
- Frame Component
- Required Contact Area
- Assembly Configuration
- External Fixator Design
The product should only be used with compatible components and in accordance with the applicable IFU and Assembly Instructions of the fixation system.
