A lightweight, high-rigidity Ø8.0 MM aluminium connecting rod for modular external fixation frames, available in lengths from 65 MM to 500 MM. Price on request.
The Aluminium Connecting Rod is a high-rigidity, lightweight structural component engineered for external fixation frame constructs in trauma and reconstructive orthopedic surgery. It connects clamps and pin holders across bone segments while reducing total construct weight compared with traditional steel rods.
What are Aluminium Connecting Rods?
Aluminium Connecting Rods serve as the primary longitudinal bridge in modular external fixation systems. Positioned between bone pin clamps, they hold frame components in rigid alignment during bone healing, limb lengthening or deformity correction procedures. The Ø8.0 MM range is available in lengths from 65 MM to 500 MM.
Manufactured in-house using CNC precision centerless grinding, each rod maintains a uniform outer diameter and smooth surface finish. Precise sizing supports clamp adjustment while providing consistent surface contact for secure jaw engagement.
A durable anodized surface treatment resists wear, corrosion and chemical exposure during repeated steam autoclave cycles. The lower density of aluminium also helps reduce total frame weight.
For OEM and private-label partners, the FC-RD-AL series can be supplied plain or custom laser-etched with length markers, diameter specifications and company branding.
