Pediatric Rods are structural components used within Pediatric Orthopedic External Fixation systems, functioning as Connecting / Structural Rod Components to connect and arrange External Fixator components within the required Frame Construct according to the surgical plan and system design.
The range provides a broad selection of lengths, starting from 40 mm and extending to 180 mm, giving the surgical team multiple options during Preoperative Frame Planning and Intraoperative Frame Assembly, particularly where different limb and bone dimensions must be accommodated in Pediatric Orthopedic applications.
According to the provided data, the product family is listed under the general reference:
Cat. No.: AMS 603.005
The range is available in ten lengths: 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 150, and 180 mm. This variety supports selection of the appropriate Rod Length according to Pediatric Anatomy, Distance Between Frame Components, Fixation Site, Required Frame Geometry, and compatibility with other components of the External Fixation system.
Each length carries an individual Cat. No. and GTIN Number, supporting Product Identification, Product Traceability, Surgical Set Preparation, Procurement, Inventory Management, and Stock Control.
Product Description
A Pediatric Rod is a Structural Connecting Component used within Pediatric External Skeletal Fixation systems to connect components of the Fixator Frame and establish the required geometry around the target anatomical region.
Its general role within the construct can be represented as follows:
Ring / Half Ring / Frame Component → Connector → Pediatric Rod → External Fixator Component
The Rod is selected according to the required distance between Frame Components and the type of surgical Construct.
Product Components and Design
- Rod Body
The main longitudinal body of the component, functioning as a structural element between components of the External Fixator.
- Connection Surface
The product features a Threaded / Ridged Geometry extending along the Rod, forming part of the component’s Connection Design.
However, the provided data do not specify:
- Thread Diameter
- Thread Pitch
- Thread Standard
- Thread Profile
Therefore, these specifications should not be stated without reference to the official Technical Datasheet.
- Proximal Connection End
One end of the Rod used for connection with compatible components or Connectors within the fixation system.
- Distal Connection End
The opposite end, which completes the Structural Connection with other components of the External Fixator Construct.
- Length-Specific Configuration
The range is available in ten lengths:
40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 / 120 / 150 / 180 mm
providing a broad selection of Rod Length options.
Product Use
Pediatric Rods are used within compatible Pediatric Orthopedic External Fixation systems as structural connecting elements between Fixator components.
Depending on the fixation system design and approved indications, they may be incorporated into applications such as:
- Pediatric External Fracture Fixation
- Pediatric Bone Segment Stabilization
- Modular External Fixation Constructs
- Circular External Fixation Systems
- Pediatric Orthopedic Reconstruction
- Limb Reconstruction Procedures
- Connection of Rings, Half Rings, and other structural components within the Fixator Frame
Selection of the appropriate Rod Length depends on:
- Pediatric Limb Anatomy
- Anatomical Region
- Distance Between Frame Components
- Fixation Site
- Ring / Frame Position
- Required Frame Clearance
- Construct Geometry
- Preoperative Planning
- Intraoperative Frame Assembly
The product should be used by a Qualified Orthopedic Surgeon in accordance with the applicable IFU and Assembly Instructions of the fixation system.
