Acrylx™ ESF Acrylic
Acrylx™ is a methacrylate based composite resin designed to simplify construction of pin and acrylic external fixators on toy breeds, avian, feline, exotics and mandibular fractures. Unlike other commonly used products, Acrylx™ has minimal odor and does not require pre-mixing before application. Acrylx™ is near-radiolucent while providing abrasion resistance and high strength.
Two resin components are supplied in a single divided cartridge and applied using a custom applicator gun. The resin components are blended as they pass through disposable mixing tips for a clean and quick delivery.

In this case, Miniature INTERFACE® Half-pins were placed and a singing straw was applied over the pins. Approximate reduction was obtained before application of Acrylx™ resin and final reduction was maintained during the 6 – 12 minute cure time. Use of IMEX™ 6mm corrugated tubing would allow better visualization of resin flow. Some surgeons cut the ESF pins to length prior to application of the tubing to simplify tubing placement. |
