Pediatric C-Rings are components of Pediatric Orthopedic External Fixation systems, designed with an open C-Shaped Ring Geometry to function as part of the External Fixator Frame used in pediatric bone fixation and reconstruction applications.
The C-Ring features a partially open design with multiple Connection / Fixation Holes distributed around its perimeter, providing different attachment points for compatible External Fixation System components such as Connecting Elements, Rods, or Wire / Pin Interfaces, according to the system design and approved Surgical Technique.
According to the provided data, the product family is listed under the general reference:
Cat. No.: AMS 603.002
The range includes two configurations, listed as 90° and 120°. The availability of more than one Ring Configuration provides flexibility during External Fixation Construct planning according to Pediatric Limb Anatomy, Fixation Site, Required Frame Geometry, and clinical requirements.
Each configuration carries an individual Cat. No. and GTIN Number, supporting Product Identification, Traceability, Surgical Set Preparation, Procurement, Inventory Management, and Stock Control.
Product Description
A Pediatric C-Ring is a Structural External Fixation Component featuring an open C-shaped design, intended for use within External Fixator Systems used in Pediatric Orthopedics.
It is integrated with other External Fixator components to construct a Frame around the target anatomical region.
Its general role within the system can be represented as follows:
Bone Fixation Element → Connector / Rod → Pediatric C-Ring → External Fixation Frame
The open design differs from a Complete Ring by providing an Open-Frame Geometry that may be incorporated according to the fixation system configuration and surgical plan.
Product Components and Design
- C-Shaped Ring Body
The main structural body of the component, designed with Open C-Ring Geometry to function as a structural element within the External Fixation Frame.
- Multiple Connection Holes
The ring contains multiple peripheral holes intended to serve as connection points for compatible system components.
Depending on the Fixator Design, these holes may interface with:
- Connecting Elements
- Rod Interfaces
- Wire / Pin Fixation Components
- Other Compatible Frame Components
The hole diameters and spacing are not specified in the provided table.
- Open Ring Geometry
The design incorporates an Open Section that gives the component its characteristic C-Ring shape rather than a Full Circular Ring configuration.
- Pediatric-Specific Configuration
The product is specifically classified as:
Pediatric C-Rings
indicating that it belongs to a Product Family intended for Pediatric External Fixation systems.
- Configuration-Specific Geometry
According to the provided table, the range is available in two configurations:
90° and 120°
However, the available data do not specify whether these values refer specifically to an Arc Angle, Opening Angle, or another Geometry Classification. Therefore, they should be retained as Configuration Values as listed until confirmed by the official Technical Datasheet.
Product Use
Pediatric C-Rings are used within compatible Pediatric External Skeletal Fixation systems and may, depending on the approved indications, be incorporated into applications such as:
- Pediatric External Fracture Fixation
- Bone Segment Stabilization
- Pediatric Orthopedic Reconstruction
- Modular External Fixation Constructs
- Frame Configuration around different anatomical regions
- Selected Limb Reconstruction or Deformity Correction applications when included within the official system indications
Selection of the appropriate configuration depends on:
- Pediatric Limb Anatomy
- Anatomical Region
- Fixation Site
- Required Frame Geometry
- Position of Bone Fixation Elements
- External Fixator Configuration
- Preoperative Planning
- Intraoperative Assessment
The Final Construct should be determined by a Qualified Orthopedic Surgeon in accordance with the applicable IFU and Surgical Technique of the fixation system.
Key Benefits
Pediatric External Fixation Design
Designed as part of a Pediatric External Fixation system to support Frame Construction requirements in pediatric orthopedic applications.
Two Configuration Options
The product provides two configurations:
90° and 120°
offering more than one C-Ring Geometry option within the fixation system.
Open C-Ring Geometry
The open design allows construction of an External Fixation Frame using a C-Shaped Component rather than a Complete Circular Ring.
Multiple Connection Points
Multiple holes around the ring provide different attachment points for compatible components within the External Fixator.
Modular Frame Integration
The component may be integrated with compatible elements such as:
- Connecting Rods
- Clamps
- Wire / Pin Interfaces
- Other Frame Components
Clear Product Identification
Each configuration has an individual product code and GTIN Number, supporting:
- Product Identification
- Product Traceability
- Procurement
- Inventory Management
- Stock Control
