Developed for use in the French army FESSA is a lightweight tubular fixator with a number of interesting features.
The tube incorporates the pin clamping mechanism and is thus very strong and has extremely good angular pin rigidity.
Available in 6 and 8mm diameter tubes.
6mm tube accepts pins of shaft diameter 0.9mm to 1.8mm making it extremely useful in the management of fractures in cats and exotics.
8mm tube accepts pins of shaft diameter 1.6mm to 3.2mm.
Design allows placement of multiple parallel pins close together in small fragments.
Pins can be placed at right angles to tube or angled through adjacent holes. Pins are locked into position by hex driven grub screws.
