Zimmer 07.00448.001 Compressor Orthopedic Instrument Preowned

As a core component of Zimmer Biomet’s advanced fixation suites, this compressor provides the mechanical leverage required to apply axial compression across a fracture site or between modular implant components (such as pedicle screws and rods).

Technical specifications

• Brand: Zimmer
• Reference / model: 07.00448.001
• Model: / REF: 07.00448.001

Additional product details

• Manufacturer: Zimmer Biomet
• Product Type: Orthopedic/Spinal Compressor
• Mechanism: Manual High-Torque Compression
• Cleaning: Fully Autoclavable / Reusable
• Controlled Axial Compression: The 07.00448.001 allows for incremental, measured compression. This "fine-tune" capability is essential in spinal deformity correction and complex fracture fixations, where over-compression can lead to hardware failure or bone "plowing."
• High-Leverage Ergonomics: The handle geometry is designed to multiply manual force, allowing the surgeon to achieve significant compressive loads with minimal physical strain.
• Precision-Machined Interface: The contact points of the compressor are engineered to securely grip rods or screw heads without slipping.
• Industrial-Grade Durability: Forged from medical-grade stainless steel, this instrument is built to withstand the high-torque environments of orthopedic surgery and the aggressive thermal cycles of repeated steam sterilization.
• Spine Surgery: Closing the gap between pedicle screws to induce lordosis or stabilize interbody spacers.
• Orthopedic Trauma: Applying axial compression across transverse or short-oblique fractures before final plate fixation.
• Reconstructive Surgery: Stabilizing bone grafts and modular orthopedic components where high-strength apposition is required.
• General Orthopedics: Acting as a "mechanical assistant" to maintain reduction during the drilling and tapping phases of fixation.
• Status: Used – Good Usable Condition.
• Maintenance: This instrument shows visible signs of professional use (minor surface scuffs or cosmetic "tray wear" consistent with standard hospital processing), but it remains fully functional. The compression mechanism is fluid, the pivot points are secure with no lateral "play," and the stainless steel is free of pitting.
