Steinmann Clip

Description

Steinmann Clip

The Steinmann clip is a traction accessory used with Steinmann pins. It comes in figures 1, 2 and 3.

Traction with pins

Skeletal traction passes a pin through bone and attaches it to a weight system. Therefore secure attachments at the pin ends matter. Clips like this form part of that setup.

Three figures

Figures 1, 2 and 3 differ in size or form. Moreover, the listing does not detail the differences. Please contact us so we can confirm which suits your pins.

Who uses a Steinmann clip

Trauma and orthopedic teams use it in traction setups. Also, ward staff handle it when adjusting traction. Furthermore, it suits hospitals that use pin traction.

Before ordering

Tell us your pin diameter and traction system. Then we can match the figure. Besides, that avoids fit problems on the ward.

Checking the setup

Inspect traction connections daily. Consequently, slippage is caught early. Replace worn clips.

Part of a traction setup

Traction relies on several small parts working together. Therefore a worn clip can loosen the whole system. Regular checks keep it secure.

Clip care

Wash the clip between patients and let it dry. Then check that it still holds a pin firmly.

The support behind the clip

Ahead of dispatch, our Atlanta crew inspects every clip by hand. We warrant every clip for three years against manufacturing defects. Other tools feature in the orthopedic instrument list. With a general query, scan our customer FAQ. To read about surgical alloys, read ASTM F899. For another approach, look at our Steinmann pins. One extra clip on standby avoids delays. We can advise on choices for your clinic.
