Con Washers are auxiliary mechanical components used within Orthopedic External Fixation systems. They are designed to function as a Supporting / Fastening Interface between a Fastener and compatible structural components within the External Fixator Construct.
The product appears to feature a washer geometry with an inclined or recessed surface surrounding the central opening. This geometry differs from a Standard Flat Washer and allows the component to be incorporated into Connection Assemblies specifically designed for this type of Washer according to the applicable Assembly Instructions.
According to the provided product data, the family is listed under the general reference:
Cat. No.: AMS 606.008
The source lists four configurations with values of 6 mm, 8 mm, 80 mm, and 100 mm. However, the individual product codes are distributed across two code series: AMS 606.008 and AMS 607.004. Therefore, the data have been retained exactly as provided without assuming that all listed sizes belong to the same Sub-Family.
The Con Washer is designed to function together with compatible Bolts, Rods, Plates, or Frame Components according to the External Fixation system design. The availability of multiple listed configurations provides different options during Frame Assembly, Component Connection, and Fastener Selection.
Each variant also carries an individual product code and GTIN Number, supporting Product Identification, Product Traceability, Procurement, Surgical Set Preparation, Inventory Management, and Stock Control.
Product Description
A Con Washer is a Mechanical Washer Component used within fixation systems to function as an interface between a Fastener and the component being assembled.
Within an External Fixator, its general role can be represented as follows:
Bolt / Fastener → Con Washer → External Fixator Component
The product features a surface that is not completely flat around the Central Opening, creating a Contoured / Conical-Type Supporting Geometry according to the appearance shown in the catalog.
However, the official product name provided in the source is Con Washers. Therefore, this name should be retained on the product page unless the official Technical Datasheet confirms that the intended designation is Conical Washers.
Product Components and Design
- Washer Body
The main body of the component, designed to function as a Mechanical Supporting Interface within the Fixation Assembly.
- Central Opening
The product incorporates a Central Hole intended for use with a compatible Bolt or Fastener.
The internal diameter of the opening is not separately specified in the provided table.
- Contoured / Recessed Surface
The Washer appears to feature an inclined or recessed surface around the central opening, distinguishing its geometry from Standard Flat Washers.
The exact angle or Curvature is not specified in the provided data.
- Fastener Contact Surface
The surface that interfaces with the Bolt Head or other Fastening Element according to the Assembly Design.
- Size-Specific Configurations
The values listed in the source are:
6 mm | 8 mm | 80 mm | 100 mm
with different Product Code families appearing across the configurations.
Product Use
Con Washers are used within compatible Orthopedic External Fixation systems as part of a Mechanical Fastening Assembly.
Depending on the fixation system design, they may be used with:
- Connection Bolts
- Rod Assemblies
- Connection Plates
- Rings
- Arches
- Clamps
- External Fixator Frame Components
- Other compatible Fastening Elements
Selection of the appropriate Washer Configuration depends on:
- Compatible Fastener
- Connection Geometry
- Frame Component
- Contact Surface
- Assembly Design
- External Fixator Configuration
The product should be used according to the applicable IFU and Assembly Instructions of the fixation system.
Key Benefits
Contoured Washer Geometry
The design provides an inclined / recessed surface that differs from a Flat Washer, allowing use within specific Connection Geometries of the Fixation System.
Multiple Configurations
The product family includes several listed Size Configurations according to the catalog, providing more than one option during Assembly.
Supporting Fastener Interface
The Washer functions as part of the mechanical interface between the Fastener and the compatible structural component.
Modular External Fixator Integration
Designed to function with compatible components within Modular External Fixation systems.
Compact Mechanical Component
The Washer provides a compact mechanical component that can be integrated into Fixator Frame Mechanical Assemblies.
Product Traceability
Each variant carries an individual Cat. No. and GTIN Number to support:
- Product Identification
- Product Traceability
- Procurement
- Inventory Management
- Stock Control
Technical Specifications
| Size as Listed in the Source | Cat. No. | GTIN No. |
| 6 mm | AMS 606.008.006 | 6221361014121 |
| 8 mm | AMS 606.008.008 | 6221361014145 |
