Large SK™ CARBON Connecting Rods,
9.5mm Diameter
Available in 50mm length increments from 50mm to 350mm. Tremendous rod strength compared to traditional KE type rods. Carbon fiber rods offer near radiolucency to simplify radiographic imaging and are by far the most popular. The large 9.5mm carbon fiber SK™ rods are nearly three times stronger than large 5/16” KE aluminum rods and approximately 7 times stronger than medium KE stainless steel rods.

Large SK™ ALUMINUM Connecting Rods,
9.5mm Diameter
Available in 50mm length increments from 50mm to 350mm. Tremendous rod strength compared to traditional KE type rods. For the most part, aluminum rods are merely a back-up material for large SK™ rods in the unlikely event that carbon material is temporarily not available.

9.5mm TITANIUM HYBRID Rods,
6mm Thread
The smooth portion of this rod supports large SK™ clamps with its 9.5mm diameter. One end of the rod has 6mm threads so it can be coupled with components of the IMEX™ Circular ESF System. Simple hybrid frames of one ring coupled to a traditional ESF device are possible. Hybrid frames utilize circular ESF technology for very small fracture segments without the complexity of a complete circular ESF frame. Additional use of paired spherical nuts and washers will allow postoperative manipulation to fine-tune reduction. These hybrid rods can be used with the hybrid ESF starter kit and are available in length increments of 50mm to 350mm overall length. The threaded portion is approximately 25mm in length.
