FRACTURES AND DEFORMITIES
MAXFRAME™ Multi-Axial Correction System
The MAXFRAME™ System is a ring fixation system that can be customized by the surgeon to address the individual characteristics of each case. The system enables surgeons to construct circular frames for acute correction as well as gradual correction with computer assistance.1,2^

MAXFRAME AUTOSTRUT™ Multi-Axial Correction System
MAXFRAME AUTOSTRUT™ Multi-Axial Correction System is a first-of-its-kind hexapod ring-fixation system offering fully automated strut adjustments up to 20 times a day.3,4,*,†
Software Assisted Hexapod Constructs
If a gradual correction post-operatively with computer assistance is indicated, the MAXFRAME System offers struts and rings for hexapod frame configuration with companion Software.
Static Frames with Polyaxial Struts
Using Polyaxial struts, surgeons can efficiently reduce patient anatomy and lock the reduction in place compared to other ring fixator systems.5
Linear Struts/Bone Transport
Linear struts can be adjusted for compression or distraction by surgeons, patients, or caregivers.5
Schanz Screws and Connecting Element Options
Blunted Point, Variable Thread Length Schanz Screws
Variable Length Schanz screws are offered in numerous thread length options to accommodate most adult and pediatric patients, helping reduce potential pathway to pin-tract infections.6 The schanz screws are available in with HA coating which enhances fixation in the bone which may reduce the incidence of pin loosening and infection.6
Available in: HA Coated, Non-HA Coated, Stainless Steel, Titanium, Sterile and Non-sterile.
Versatile Connecting Element Options
The MAXFRAME™ Multi-Axial Correction System includes a variety of connecting elements in a range of sizes.
