Synthes 390.005 Large Ex-Fix Combination Clamp MR-Conditional

• Model: 390.005
• Large
• Clip-On, Self-Holding

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 390.005 Large Ex-Fix Combination Clamp is a heavy-duty orthopedic clamp engineered for assembly in large external fixation constructs—commonly applied to stabilize fractures in the lower extremities, pelvis, and other load-bearing skeletal regions. Its clip-on, self-holding design streamlines intraoperative setup by enabling rapid engagement with support rods while maintaining a secure grip during adjustments. The large sizing ensures robustness and mechanical reliability in challenging stabilization scenarios, offering surgeons both versatility and sturdiness.

A critical feature of this device is its MR‑Conditional classification, meaning that under specific safety parameters, it poses no harm during MRI imaging. This attribute offers significant clinical value: patients can undergo MRI scans without requiring clamp removal, enabling uninterrupted postoperative diagnostic workflows and improving overall care efficiency. The combination of strength and imaging compatibility positions the 390.005 clamp as a key component in modern orthopedic trauma management.

Clinically, the clamp is intended for single-use and must be sterilized prior to use—consistent with infection control standards for surgical hardware. It is widely available through medical device distributors, with both new and reprocessed units accessible to hospitals seeking cost-effective procurement. Synthes’s inclusion of this component within its large external fixation system—and its clearance for commercial distribution—ensures supply chain reliability and product accountability within regulated healthcare environments.
