Synthes 395.782 8.0mm Carbon Fiber Rod 200mm

• Model: 449.924
• 8 dia. x 200 mm Length
• Carbon Fiber
• For Medium External Fixation System

A component of an external fixation system intended to be used to stabilize a fractured bone/joint. It may be a specially designed frame, clamp, rod, pin, rod-to-rod coupling, rod-to-pin coupling, post, fastener, wire, bolt, washer, nut, hinge, ring, socket, bar, screw, or other device. This is a single-use device.

The Synthes 395.782 is a precision-engineered carbon fiber rod designed specifically for surgical external fixation. At 200 mm in length and 8 mm in diameter, this single-use device aligns with Synthes’s Medium External Fixation System framework. Its carbon fiber construction offers an advantageous combination of lightweight strength and radiolucency—ideal for post-operative imaging and minimizing weight on the injured limb.

Non-sterile by design, the rod must be handled within an appropriately sterile environment before use. Though robust, its single-use constraint ensures maximum integrity and sterility for each surgical procedure, mitigating cross-contamination risk. It's intended strictly for orthopedic external fixation applications, and its material specs ensure compatibility with medium-sized fixation constructs.

Additionally, documentation indicates it is not latex-free, a noteworthy consideration for environments requiring latex precautions or allergen-conscious practices. The catalog number 395.782 and associated identifiers from Synthes and the FDA registry ensure precise ordering and traceability, vital aspects in the high-stakes context of surgical instrument management.
