Periarticular Clamps are mechanical connection and fixation components used within Orthopedic External Fixation systems. They are designed to function as Connecting / Clamping Components during construction of External Fixator Constructs, particularly in configurations requiring fixation elements to be arranged around a joint region.
The Clamp Design allows integration with compatible system components to create a Mechanical Connection between different parts of the External Fixator, supporting Component Positioning, Frame Assembly, and Construct Configuration according to the surgical plan and applicable Assembly Instructions.
According to the provided product data, the range is listed under the general reference:
Cat. No.: AMS 606.006
The product is available in two sizes:
6 mm × 6 mm
and
8 mm × 8 mm
Each size represents a specific configuration as listed in the catalog, with an individual Cat. No. and GTIN Number assigned to each variant.
The availability of more than one size supports selection of the appropriate Clamp according to Compatible Component Dimensions, Frame Geometry, Fixation Site, Connection Arrangement, and External Fixation Construct requirements.
Separate coding for each configuration also supports Product Identification, Product Traceability, Surgical Set Preparation, Procurement, Inventory Management, and Stock Control.
Product Description
A Periarticular Clamp is a Mechanical Connector used within External Skeletal Fixation systems to connect or secure Fixator Frame components near joint regions according to the fixation system design.
Its general function can be represented as follows:
Fixation Element / Rod → Periarticular Clamp → Connecting Component → External Fixator Frame
The Clamp functions as a Mechanical Interface that allows system components to be connected and maintained in their planned positions within the Construct.
The current product is available in:
6×6 MM | 8×8 MM
Product Components and Design
- Clamp Body
The main body of the Periarticular Clamp, designed to function as a Structural Connecting Component within the External Fixator system.
- Primary Clamping Interface
The primary connection area designed to receive a compatible component and secure it within the Clamp.
- Secondary Connection Interface
An additional connection interface for attaching another compatible component within the External Fixation Construct according to the system design.
- Locking / Fastening Mechanism
The design incorporates Mechanical Fastening Features intended to secure components after their position has been selected.
However, the provided data do not specify:
- Fastener Type
- Thread Size
- Locking Torque
- Clamp Opening Range
Therefore, these specifications should not be assumed or stated without reference to the official Technical Datasheet.
- Size-Specific Configuration
The product family is available in:
- 6 mm × 6 mm
- 8 mm × 8 mm
according to the provided table.
Product Use
Periarticular Clamps are used within compatible Orthopedic External Fixation systems to connect and position components of the Fixator Construct.
Depending on the fixation system design, they may be integrated with:
- Fixation Rods
- Schanz Pins / Screws
- Connecting Rods
- External Fixator Frame Components
- Other compatible Clamps / Connectors
Selection of the appropriate configuration depends on:
- Compatible Component Dimensions
- Frame Geometry
- Fixation Site
- Connection Orientation
- Component Position
- Required Construct Arrangement
- Preoperative Planning
- Intraoperative Frame Assembly
The product should only be used with compatible components and in accordance with the applicable IFU and Assembly Instructions of the fixation system.
