Synthes 395.781 Protective Caos for 8.0mm Carbon Fiber Rod

Synthes Protective Caps | For 8.0mm Carbon Fiber Rods | 395.781

The Synthes 395.781 is a specialized safety component engineered for use within the Synthes External Fixation System. These caps are specifically designed to fit the ends of 8.0mm diameter carbon fiber rods, providing a protective barrier that shields both the surgical environment and the structural integrity of the fixation construct.

Manufactured from a high-visibility, medical-grade polymer, these caps prevent the exposed, potentially sharp ends of cut carbon fiber rods from snagging surgical drapes, damaging soft tissue, or causing accidental injury to the patient or clinical staff during post-operative mobilization.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Construct Integrity: Carbon fiber rods are often cut to length intraoperatively. These caps seal the cut ends, preventing the delamination of carbon fibers and ensuring that no micro-particulates enter the surgical field or the patient's clothing/bedding.

• Soft-Tissue Protection: In complex frames (such as those used for pilon fractures or pelvic stabilization), rod ends often protrude. These smooth, rounded caps eliminate sharp edges, reducing the risk of skin abrasions or "snagging" on dressings.

• Environmental Safety: By covering the rigid ends of the 8.0mm rods, the caps protect hospital equipment and drapes from punctures, maintaining the sterile barrier and preventing damage to expensive facility linens.

• Standardized 8mm Fit: Specifically calibrated for the Synthes 8.0mm rod portfolio, ensuring a secure, "friction-fit" that will not vibrate loose during patient transport or physical therapy.

• Visual Confirmation: The bright color-coding allows the surgical team to quickly verify that all rod ends are safely capped before the patient leaves the operating room.

Applications

• Orthopedic Trauma: Finalizing external fixation frames for long bone fractures (Femur, Tibia, Humerus).

• Pelvic Stabilization: Capping rods in anterior pelvic frames where protrusion is common.

• Pediatric Orthopedics: Ensuring frame safety for active pediatric patients undergoing limb lengthening or deformity correction.

• Podiatric Fixation: Protecting the ends of spanning frames across the ankle or midfoot.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Individually Packaged.

• Integrity: This component is unused and maintained in its original packaging to ensure ease of use and immediate availability for the surgical tray.

• Note on Single-Use: As a safety component of an external fixator, these are designated for single-patient use to ensure the polymer maintains its grip tension and structural resilience.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in orthopedic logistics, Primis Medical ensures all external fixation components are stored in climate-controlled environments to preserve the material properties of the medical polymers.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in protective packaging to ensure the polymer caps remain free of cracks or deformations.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
