Hub Compression Device

Description

Hub Compression Device

The hub compression device is an orthopedic compression instrument listed at 20 mm. Compression devices help bring bone fragments together during fixation.

What compression does

Fractures heal better when the fragments sit firmly together. Therefore surgeons often apply compression before final fixation. Devices like this help achieve it.

Who uses a hub compression device

Trauma and orthopedic surgeons use compression devices in fracture and fusion work. Also, theater staff assemble them with the matching hardware. Sets vary by system.

Before you order

Tell us the plates or hardware you plan to use. Then we can confirm whether this device suits them. Moreover, that avoids problems in theater.

Careful compression

Apply compression gradually and check alignment. Consequently, the fracture closes without shifting. Imaging helps confirm the result.
