JET-X◊ External Fixator
Designed to facilitate easy fracture reduction while respecting soft tissue1
Defining freedom in fracture reduction
The JET-X External Fixator features a multiple pin clamp design for ease of application in open and closed fracture reduction, post-traumatic joint contracture that’s resulted in a reduced range of motion, correction of bone or soft tissue defects or to help address infected fractures and non-unions.
- Radiolucent, lightweight carbon-fibre composite allows fracture/osteotomy visualisation in X-rays
- Features snap-fit assembly and prevents passive release of the bar during reduction2
- A variety of clamps and bar lengths offer versatility in frame assembly, and pin options allow constructs to fit patient anatomy while providing frame stability1,3
Freedom of simple fracture reduction; freedom to respect tissue; freedom to help patients return to a normal lifestyle.
