Blade for Kirschner and Franz Frames 105x35mm

Clinical Application

Designed as a replaceable blade component for Kirschner and Franz external fixation systems, this blade is used during orthopedic external fixation procedures for secure interface between frame clamps and frame elements. It provides a stable contact surface for assembly and adjustment of external fixator constructs, assists in contouring or trimming frame components during application, and helps manage soft-tissue interfaces where a broader, low-profile contact area is required. Intended for use by orthopedic surgeons and operating room personnel involved in fracture stabilization, limb reconstruction, and trauma cases utilizing K-wire and Franz-type frames.

Design & Configuration

The flat, rectangular geometry and nominal 105 x 35 mm footprint deliver extended contact area for clamp engagement and load distribution across frame components. The length provides working coverage without unnecessary overhang, helping minimize soft-tissue irritation and reducing snag risk during dressing changes and mobilization. As a dedicated replacement/attachment blade, the part is sized to sit within standard clamp housings on Kirschner and Franz frame assemblies to maintain consistent alignment and predictable mechanical interface during intraoperative adjustments.
