Washers are auxiliary mechanical components used within Orthopedic External Fixation systems. They are designed with a circular Round Washer Geometry and a Central Opening that allows them to function within the Mechanical Connection between a Fastener and a compatible structural component of the External Fixator Construct.
The Washer functions as part of the Fastening Assembly during assembly of External Fixation components, where it is used with a compatible Bolt or Connecting Element according to the system-specific Connection Geometry and Assembly Instructions.
According to the provided product data, the product family is listed under the general reference:
Cat. No.: AMS 602.037
The range is available in two listed diameter options: Ø12 mm and Ø14 mm, providing two different configurations that may be selected according to the Compatible Fastener, Connection Geometry, and External Fixator Component being used.
Each diameter carries an individual Cat. No. and GTIN Number, facilitating Product Identification, Product Traceability, Surgical Set Preparation, Procurement, Inventory Management, and Stock Control.
Product Description
A Washer is a Mechanical Supporting / Fastening Component positioned within a Connection Assembly between the Fastener and the component being secured.
Within an External Fixation system, its general position can be represented as follows:
Bolt / Fastener → Washer → External Fixator Component
The product features a circular design with a Central Opening intended for use with a compatible Fastener according to the fixation system specifications.
