OPEN FRACTURE SET (with GexFix external fixator)
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.
