Synthes 394.86 Large Ex-fix 11mm Carbon Fiber Rod 350mm / MR-Conditional

• Model: 394.86
• Carbon Fiber
• 11 dia. x 350 mm Length
• 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 394.86 is a robust, MR‑Conditional carbon fiber rod, specifically designed for large external fixation systems. With an 11 mm diameter and a 350 mm length, it delivers the structural rigidity required for stabilizing extensive orthopedic constructs, particularly in trauma and limb reconstruction scenarios. The carbon fiber material imparts a high strength-to-weight ratio, improving handling ergonomics for surgeons and reducing load on fixation frames.

Although labeled as non‑sterile, this rod is intended for single-use applications and requires sterilization prior to deployment—moist heat or steam sterilization is the recommended method. Its MR‑Conditional status is a major clinical advantage: it allows patients to safely undergo MRI scans under specified conditions, without compromising the integrity of the fixation or imaging quality. Such compatibility affords streamlined diagnostic workflows post-operatively, minimizing delays and the need for implant removal or alternative imaging strategies.
