EXTERNAL FIXATOR SET, Orthofix Galaxy, 2020

The Orthofix Galaxy external fixator was selected as the new external fixator for MSF projects. This set was gradually introduced during 2020 and becomes the first choice in 2021. 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 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.

Instructions for use

In order to ease the sterilization the set is presented in 2 parts:

  • EXTERNAL FIXATOR SET, basic set which contains all the instruments needed for a fixation, presented in a sterilization tray.
  • EXTERNAL FIXATOR SET, re-stocking: box with all consumables allowing to complete the elements of the basic set, once they have been used
