EXTERNAL FIXATOR SET, GexFix
The Gexfix external fixator is gradually phasing out and replaced by the Orthofix system. This year, 2021,the Gexfix becomes the second choice for the MSF projects. Gexfix material can still be supplied as long as there are stocks available at the supply centres.
Please note that the two external fixation systems are NOT compatible with each other. Therefore, the parts from the Gex-Fix set should NOT be mixed with the parts from the Orthofix set.

Definition
The external fixator set which is proposed in the surgical instruments sets allows to face most of the situations as well as in adults as in children.
Specifications
Each set allows 8 to 10 assemblies..
The selected equipment is easy to use, particularly by non orthopaedic surgeons.
The use of external fixator sets implies precise and regular management of their composition. All items can be ordered separately.
The main indications of external fixators are open fractures. Therapeutic alternatives such as orthopaedic treatment by wound debridement-traction, fenestrated plastering or amputation should be considered.
