Product Explanation
The Locking Proximal GT Cable is an orthopedic fixation cable intended to form part of a compatible cable-assisted fixation construct.
A simplified fixation concept can be represented as:
Bone / Compatible Fixation Construct → Orthopedic Cable → Compatible Locking / Tensioning Component → Stabilized Fixation Construct
The cable is supplied as a flexible metallic component rather than a rigid fixation plate.
According to the supplied image, it is manufactured from:
SS316L
or
Titanium
The image also provides a numerical value of:
1.6
which likely relates to the cable size or diameter.
The exact anatomical application, cable tensioning system, locking component, compatible plates, and approved fixation technique should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s official documentation.
Product Components and Design
- Metallic Cable Body
The product consists of a long, flexible metallic cable formed from multiple strands.
The supplied image visually shows a braided / stranded metallic cable supplied in a coiled configuration.
The exact strand count, cable construction pattern, mechanical strength, and manufacturing specification are not provided.
- Multi-Strand Cable Construction
The supplied image visually indicates a multi-strand metallic construction.
Such a construction forms the flexible structural body of the cable.
However, the exact:
- Number of strands.
- Individual wire diameter.
- Braid or lay pattern.
- Tensile strength.
- Fatigue performance.
- Cable flexibility specifications.
are not defined in the supplied image and should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s technical data.
- Cable Size / Diameter
The supplied table lists:
Shaft Holes – 1.6
Since this is a cable rather than a plate, 1.6 does not logically represent a shaft-hole count.
The most plausible interpretation is:
Cable Diameter: 1.6 mm
However, this interpretation should be verified against the original technical catalog before being treated as a confirmed specification.
- Cable End Geometry
The supplied image shows a free cable end.
The exact terminal construction, compatibility with tensioning instruments, locking devices, crimps, sleeves, or other fixation components is not described in the supplied data.
These details should be confirmed from the official technical documentation.
- Alignment
According to the supplied product data:
Alignment: –
No anatomical side or directional configuration is specified.
The product should therefore not be described as Left, Right, or side-specific based on the supplied image.
- Material Options
According to the supplied product information, the cable is available in:
SS316L
and
Titanium
The exact Titanium alloy or grade is not specified and should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s official material specification.
Intended Use
The Locking Proximal GT Cable is designed for use as part of a compatible orthopedic cable-assisted fixation system according to the approved indications, surgical technique, and Instructions for Use.
The product designation includes:
Proximal GT
but the abbreviation GT is not defined in the supplied image.
Potential use may involve cable-assisted orthopedic fixation where this component is included within the manufacturer’s approved indications.
The exact anatomical location, fracture or reconstruction application, compatible plate, cable tension, cable-routing technique, locking component, and surgical indications should be confirmed from the official product documentation.
Cable selection may depend on factors including:
- Anatomical application.
- Required fixation construct.
- Cable diameter.
- Required cable length.
- Compatible plate or implant system.
- Compatible locking component.
- Compatible tensioning instrumentation.
- Bone quality.
- Surgical plan.
- Preoperative planning.
- Intraoperative assessment.
The component should be selected and applied by a qualified orthopedic surgeon according to the approved surgical technique and Instructions for Use.
Key Benefits
Flexible Cable Fixation Component
The product is a flexible metallic cable rather than a rigid plate.
This allows its use as part of compatible cable-assisted fixation constructs where such fixation is included within the approved surgical technique.
1.6 mm Size
The supplied product information includes:
1.6
which is likely to indicate a:
1.6 mm cable diameter
subject to confirmation from the official technical table.
Two Material Options
According to the supplied product data, the cable is available in:
SS316L
and
Titanium
providing two material options within the product family.
Compatible Cable-Assisted Fixation
The product designation identifies it as a:
Locking Proximal GT Cable
indicating that it belongs to a compatible cable fixation system.
The exact compatible locking mechanism and plate system should be confirmed from official documentation.
Multi-Strand Metallic Construction
The supplied image shows a stranded metallic cable configuration.
The exact mechanical properties of this construction should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s testing and technical specifications.
