Mini Fixator is an external fixation system with titanium raw material, consisting of two bars and clamps that move with the help of DC discs on these bars. The mini fixator consists of two bars that are fixed with a dynamic body and clamps that move on these bars along with DC discs. Thanks to its design that can be applied even in narrow areas, it allows the schanz screws to be sent parallel to the joint surface. The mini fixator is used with schanz screws with a diameter of 2 mm. Mini fixator extension bar is used for bone lengthening and transport. It is usually used with two schanz screws, but a third schanz screw can be used to increase stability, especially in osteoporotic and metatarsal bones. Extension bars are used with standard and/or L-clamp and spacer. Designed in accordance with the clamp edge, one side of the washer is angular and the other side is flat. The DC nut is placed in contact with the standard clamp and applied to the flat side of the washer. This ensures full surface contact between the DC nut and the standard clamp during distraction. If a T-clamp is used during distraction, a washer is not needed. One full turn of the DC nut provides 1mm of travel. It is used with 2 mm Schanz screws. The finger joint fixator clamp provides compression and distraction. It can be angulated up to 200°. The distraction-compression screw provides 0.5 mm of movement when a full turn is completed. There is a scale indicator on the fixator that provides distraction and compression control. It is used with 2 mm Schanz screws.
