Zimmer 7010-0034-01 Tubular Rod Bender

Zimmer Tubular Rod Bender | Orthopedic Fixation | 7010-0034-01 | Reusable

The Zimmer 7010-0034-01 is a high-performance manual instrument specifically engineered for the intraoperative contouring of orthopedic rods. Designed by Zimmer Biomet, this tubular bender provides the necessary mechanical leverage to shape stainless steel or titanium rods to match the patient’s unique anatomical curvature.

Unlike standard "bench" benders, the tubular design of the 7010-0034-01 allows for high-torque "in-situ" or table-side adjustments. The precision-machined fulcrum and guiding channels ensure that the rod is bent smoothly without "kinking," "notching," or scoring the metal surface—preserving the structural integrity and fatigue strength of the implant.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: Zimmer Biomet

• Model / REF: 7010-0034-01

• Product Type: Tubular Rod Bender

• Material: Heavy-Duty Surgical Stainless Steel

• Configuration: Dual-Channel / Tubular Leverage

• Compatibility: Optimized for 3.5mm to 6.0mm Rods (Typical Range)

• Operation: Manual High-Torque Contouring

• Cleaning: Fully Autoclavable / Reusable

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Precision Cold-Bending: The internal geometry of the tubular channels is calibrated to distribute pressure evenly across the rod’s circumference. This prevents stress concentrations and surface micro-fractures that can lead to post-operative rod failure.

• High-Torque Mechanical Advantage: The elongated tubular handles translate manual effort into massive bending force. This is critical when contouring high-strength Titanium or Cobalt-Chrome rods used in complex spinal or pelvic fixations.

• Anatomical Contouring Control: The open-ended tubular design allows the surgeon to see the progression of the bend, ensuring that the rod matches the pre-operative template or the patient’s spinal sagittal balance exactly.

• Reduced Implant Damage: The micro-polished contact surfaces minimize "galling" or scratching. Maintaining a smooth rod surface is vital for preventing the localized corrosion and tissue irritation often associated with damaged implants.

• Zimmer Industrial Forging: Built to withstand the extreme forces of orthopedic trauma and deformity correction, the 7010-0034-01 maintains its alignment and fulcrum stability through years of rigorous clinical use.

Applications

• Spine Surgery: Precise contouring of posterior rods for scoliosis correction, degenerative fusions, and trauma stabilization.

• Orthopedic Trauma: Shaping rods for intramedullary nailing or external fixation constructs.

• Reconstructive Surgery: Custom-forming of large-diameter rods for pelvic and acetabular reconstruction.

• Hardware Adjustment: Fine-tuning the curvature of pre-contoured rods during final seating.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Good Usable Condition.

• Maintenance: This instrument shows visible signs of professional use (minor surface scuffs or cosmetic wear consistent with standard tray storage and autoclaving), but it remains fully functional. The internal channels are smooth, the pivot/fulcrum is secure with no structural fatigue, and the frame is perfectly aligned.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical instrumentation and hospital materials, Primis Medical ensures all heavy-duty Zimmer tools are function-verified and ultrasonically cleaned prior to shipment.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in reinforced, heavy-duty packaging to ensure the stainless steel tubular frame and specialized bending fulcrum arrive in factory-standard condition.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
