Bohler Extension Bow 16x9cm

Clinical Application

Provides a compact, rigid attachment point for applying longitudinal traction and maintaining reduction during orthopedic trauma procedures. The bow is used in conjunction with skeletal traction pins or external fixation components to deliver controlled extension, preserve alignment while definitive fixation is being performed, and to tension fragments for closed or open reduction. Its low-profile footprint supports use in extremity, hand, wrist and forearm cases where access and fluoroscopic visualization must be preserved.

Design & Configuration

The curved, bow-shaped geometry distributes loads along the arc to reduce focal stress at a single attachment point and to provide multiple locations for securing connectors or clamps. The 16 x 9 cm footprint balances reach and operating-room clearance: large enough to provide leverage and secure attachment, yet compact to allow unobstructed imaging and working space around the limb. The configuration facilitates inline extension and helps maintain consistent axial traction during reduction and provisional stabilization.
