Results for tag: "Bone Distractor"

Bone distractors are surgical devices used to separate and lengthen bones in order to correct deformities or to create space for bone grafts. They are commonly used in orthopedic and trauma surgeries, as well as in reconstructive surgeries. Bone distractors are typically composed of a frame, a handle, and a ratchet mechanism. The frame is placed around the bone and the handle is used to turn the ratchet, which gradually lengthens the bone. Bone distractors are a growing market within the surgical device industry. They are used in a variety of surgeries, from correcting congenital deformities to treating fractures. They are also used in reconstructive surgeries, such as spinal fusion and joint replacement. Some companies in the bone distractor market include Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, Smith & Nephew, and DePuy Synthes. Show Less Read more
