AMFEX Limb Lengthening External Fixator for Femur & Tibia is an Orthopedic External Fixation system designed, according to the product designation and provided catalog data, for use in Limb Lengthening applications involving the Femur and Tibia.
The system incorporates an External Fixator Body that functions as an external structural element and integrates with compatible Bone Fixation Elements and other components to create the required Fixation Construct according to anatomy, fixation site, Alignment Requirements, and the approved surgical plan.
The device features a longitudinal Axial Fixator Configuration with a Central Body and an integrated mechanical mechanism within the main body of the system. It also incorporates End Sections with Connection / Fixation Interfaces designed for compatible fixation elements. This configuration is consistent with the product’s function as a Limb Lengthening External Fixator; however, the actual lengthening range and mechanism should be confirmed through the official IFU and Technical Documentation.
According to the provided table, the product family is listed under the general reference:
Cat. No.: AMS 604.010.000
and is available in three configurations:
Short – Medium – Long
Each variant carries an individual Cat. No. and GTIN Number, supporting Device Identification, Product Traceability, Surgical Set Preparation, Procurement, Inventory Management, and Stock Control.
Product Description
A Limb Lengthening External Fixator is an External Skeletal Fixation System positioned outside the body and connected to the bone through compatible Bone Fixation Elements according to the fixation system design.
Within this product category, the Fixator functions as an external mechanical structure that may be incorporated into a surgical plan involving Limb Lengthening / Bone Segment Management when included within the approved indications.
The general system arrangement can be represented as follows:
Femur / Tibia → Bone Fixation Elements → Fixator Connection Interface → AMFEX Limb Lengthening External Fixator
The provided data do not specify the amount of Lengthening, adjustment rate, Distraction Range, or operating method. These parameters should therefore be confirmed through the official IFU.
Product Components and Design
- Central Fixator Body
The main central body of the device, functioning as the Structural Core of the External Fixation Construct.
- Lengthening / Adjustment Assembly
The design includes a longitudinal mechanism integrated into the main body, consistent with the product classification as a Limb Lengthening External Fixator.
However, the provided data do not specify:
- Adjustment Range
- Distraction Travel
- Adjustment Increment
- Adjustment Rate
Therefore, these parameters should not be published without reference to the official Technical Datasheet or IFU.
- End Fixation Sections
Both ends of the device incorporate sections designed for connection with compatible fixation elements or Connecting Components.
- Bone Fixation Interfaces
The End Sections provide connection points that allow integration with compatible Bone Fixation Elements according to the system design and Surgical Technique.
- Size / Configuration Options
The system is available in:
- Short
- Medium
- Long
providing multiple Device Configurations when selecting the appropriate system for the clinical case.
