Ilizarov External Fixation System

Ilizarov External Fixation System

The Ilizarov External Fixation System is an orthopedic circular external fixation system offered in multiple ring diameters for professional surgical use. Peak Surgicals provides seven ring sizes ranging from 80mm to 220mm, allowing orthopedic teams to select the required diameter according to the planned fixation construct and clinical requirements.

The Ilizarov system is based on a circular external fixation concept in which ring components form part of a framework positioned outside the limb. The system is used by orthopedic surgeons when external stabilization and controlled frame construction are required. The final configuration, ring diameter, and associated fixation components are selected by the surgeon according to the patient's anatomy, treatment plan, and established orthopedic technique.

Design and Configuration

The defining component of this product range is the circular ring. Peak Surgicals lists ring diameters of 80mm, 100mm, 120mm, 140mm, 180mm, 200mm, and 220mm. Each diameter has its own product code, making the required ring size easier to identify for ordering, inventory management, and surgical set preparation.

The wide diameter range supports the construction of Ilizarov external fixation frames for different anatomical requirements. Smaller and larger rings can be selected according to the area being treated and the surgeon's planned frame configuration. The complete fixation construct may involve additional compatible external fixation components selected separately according to the surgical plan.

Because ring diameter is a critical identification detail, hospitals, orthopedic departments, distributors, and procurement teams should record the complete product code and ring diameter when ordering. This helps distinguish the individual configurations and reduces confusion between the seven available sizes.

Available Ring Diameters

The Ilizarov External Fixation System is available in seven ring diameters. The current product page displays a product price of $57.20 USD. Individual ring configurations are identified by separate code numbers.

Clinical Application

Ilizarov external fixation systems are used in orthopedic surgery as circular external fixation frameworks. The ring structure remains outside the limb while the complete fixation construct is configured according to the surgeon's treatment plan. Circular external fixation can be incorporated into orthopedic procedures requiring an external frame rather than an internally positioned plate or nail.

The surgeon determines the appropriate ring diameter, number of rings, placement, and overall frame arrangement according to the anatomical region and procedure. This product page provides the circular ring size options within the Ilizarov system but does not replace procedure-specific surgical planning, device instructions, or professional orthopedic judgment.

The seven available diameters provide multiple options for building or maintaining an external fixation setup. Accurate size identification is particularly important when replacement components, additional rings, or matching components are being ordered for an existing frame configuration.

Product Specifications

Care and Handling

External fixation components should be handled carefully during storage, preparation, assembly, and clinical use. Before use, inspect the selected ring and associated components for visible damage, deformation, or other conditions that could interfere with correct assembly of the fixation frame.

Cleaning, preparation, sterilization, and handling should follow the current instructions supplied for the external fixation system and the healthcare facility's validated procedures. Generic sterilization temperatures, exposure times, or processing cycles should not be substituted for product-specific instructions. Components should also be correctly identified by size and code before they are incorporated into a surgical setup.

Ordering

When ordering the Ilizarov External Fixation System, select the required ring diameter using the corresponding code number. Available diameters are 80mm, 100mm, 120mm, 140mm, 180mm, 200mm, and 220mm. Confirming both the code and diameter helps ensure that the correct component is supplied for the intended external fixation configuration.
