Synthes 395.782 8.0mm Carbon Fiber Rod 200mm

Synthes 8.0mm Carbon Fiber Rod | Medium External Fixation | 200mm | 395.782

The Synthes 395.782 is a high-performance structural component of the Medium External Fixation System. Measuring 200mm in length with an 8.0mm diameter, this rod is engineered to provide the primary "backbone" for external constructs used to stabilize fractures of the forearm, humerus, or tibia in pediatric and smaller adult patients.

Unlike traditional stainless steel or aluminum rods, the carbon fiber construction offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio and critical radiolucency. This allows surgeons to obtain unobstructed X-ray and fluoroscopic views of the fracture site during both initial reduction and long-term postoperative monitoring, ensuring that the hardware does not obscure the bone's healing progress.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)

• Model / REF: 395.782 (Cross-ref: 449.924)

• Material: Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer

• Diameter: 8.0 mm

• Overall Length: 200 mm

• Compatibility: Synthes Medium External Fixation Clamps (8.0mm)

• MRI Status: MR Conditional (when used within a validated system)

• Quantity: 1 Each

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Total Radiolucency: The carbon fiber material is virtually transparent under X-ray. This is essential for verifying anatomical alignment and monitoring callus formation without the "starburst" interference or shadows caused by metallic rods.

• Lightweight Stability: The rod provides the rigid fixation necessary to maintain fracture reduction while significantly reducing the overall weight of the external frame. This improves patient comfort and mobility during the 2026 recovery phase.

• High Fatigue Resistance: Engineered to withstand the cyclic loading and stresses of an external construct, the carbon fiber rod resists bending and "creep," ensuring the frame remains stable between clinical adjustments.

• System Integration: Precision-calibrated to an 8.0mm diameter to ensure a slip-free interface with Synthes Medium Multi-Pin Clamps and Rod-to-Rod Couplings.

• Latex Consideration: Please note that manufacturer documentation indicates this component is not latex-free; appropriate precautions should be taken for sensitized patients or staff.

Applications

• Upper Extremity Trauma: Stabilization of complex humerus, radius, or ulna fractures.

• Pediatric Orthopedics: External fixation for long bone fractures in children where the 11mm large system is too bulky.

• Bridge Fixation: Used as a temporary "damage control" stabilizer for wrist or elbow joint disruptions.

• Corrective Osteotomies: Providing a stable frame for gradual limb lengthening or deformity correction using the medium system.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed.

• Integrity: The rod is securely packaged to maintain its surface integrity. Any nicks or deep scratches to carbon fiber can compromise its structural strength; this unit is guaranteed in pristine, factory condition.

• Sterilization Note: This device is provided as a NON-STERILE, SINGLE-USE component. It MUST be properly cleaned and sterilized via validated steam autoclave protocols in accordance with facility guidelines and Synthes’ Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to surgical application. Do not reuse, as structural integrity cannot be guaranteed after initial loading and subsequent sterilization cycles.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in orthopedic trauma logistics, Primis Medical ensures all external fixation components are handled and stored to maintain their mechanical precision.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in reinforced packaging to prevent impact damage to the carbon fiber matrix.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
