Description

Shagun Cares® Compression Distraction Device & The external fixator is one of the mainstays of operative fracture treatment. It allows “local damage control” for fractures with severe soft-tissue injuries and can be used for definitive treatment of many fractures as it provides relative stability, which results in healing by callus formation. External fixation is an essential part of damage control surgery in polytrauma as it permits rapid stabilization of fractures with minimal additional (surgical) injury. Deformity correction and bone transport are also possible with external fixation. There are various methods of internal fixation for the treatment of fractures, but at certain times it is inappropriate to perform internal fixation as primary treatment. External fixation has Less damage to the blood supply of the bone, Minimal interference with soft-tissue cover, Rapid application in an emergency situation, Stabilization of open and contaminated fractures, Fracture reduction and stable fixation adjustable without surgery, Good solution in situations with high risk of infection or established infection; less experience and surgical skill required than for standard ORIF, Bone transport and deformity correction possible. All Fixators are made from Medical Grade Stainless Steel & Titanium Alloy.

Compression Distraction Device is an instrument used for treating injuries and diseases of bones and joints which incorporates rings with needles passed through bone fragments. Adjacent rings are interconnected by longitudinal permanently sprung members, viz. helical springs and/or rods connected with the rings by means of nuts. To stabilize the structure, strengthening rings composed of separate arches and carrying locking means for additional needles may be inserted into the instrument.
