T-shaped Screw for Extension Bows

Clinical Application

Used to secure, index, and fine‑tune the position of extension bows and similar accessories on external fixation frames and modular surgical assemblies. The screw provides tactile, manual control for frame assembly and intraoperative adjustments during fracture stabilization, deformity correction, and temporary external fixation procedures. It is intended for repeated tightening and loosening as the construct is configured and adjusted.

Design & Configuration

The T‑shaped head provides a perpendicular grip surface that increases leverage for hand tightening and allows rapid manual adjustments without requiring power tools. The head geometry also facilitates engagement in T‑slots or clamp housings used on many extension‑bow mounting blocks, helping to resist rotation while the threaded shaft draws components together. The threaded shaft provides axial clamping force to lock the bow position once alignment is achieved.

Instrument Specifications

• Head style: T‑shaped for manual torque and quick handling
• Shaft: Threaded for positive clamping engagement
• Primary use: Fastening and indexing extension bows on external fixation and modular frames
• Serviceability: Reusable and compatible with standard surgical sterilization processes

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical‑grade stainless steel with precision‑machined threads to ensure repeatable engagement and long service life. The construction is intended for repeated cleaning and sterilization and to provide corrosion resistance appropriate for reusable fixation components.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
