Nuts for Rods are mechanical fastening and connection components used within Orthopedic External Fixation systems. They are designed to work with Threaded Rods and compatible components featuring a Threaded Interface to complete the Mechanical Assembly of the External Fixator Construct.
The product features a Hexagonal Nut design with an Internal Thread. It is installed onto a compatible Threaded Rod or Fastening Component to secure the position of components associated with the Rod according to the fixation system design and approved Assembly Instructions.
According to the provided product data, the range is listed under the general reference:
Cat. No.: AMS 606.007
The product is available in two Thread Sizes: M8 and M6, providing two options according to the thread size and thread system used within the External Fixation System.
Each configuration carries an individual Cat. No. together with a separate GTIN Number, supporting Product Identification, Product Traceability, Surgical Set Preparation, Procurement, Inventory Management, and Stock Control.
The Nuts should only be used with Rods and components having a compatible Thread Specification and in accordance with the Technical Documentation of the fixation system.
Product Description
A Nut for Rod is a Mechanical Fastening Component incorporating an Internal Thread and designed for installation onto a compatible threaded Rod or Bolt.
Within External Fixation systems, its general function can be represented as follows:
Threaded Rod → External Fixator Component → Nut → Mechanical Assembly
The Nut completes the Connection / Locking Arrangement of the components according to the External Fixator design.
The product family is available in:
M6 | M8
