Polygon To Produce Composite External Fixation Device Components

Feb 07, 2011, Walkerton, Indiana

Composite Halo Fixation Device

Polygon is proud to announce improved offerings in the area of external bone fixation devices. Increased carbon fiber offerings are now available, with multiple options for device architectures.

Many advantages can be obtained from replacing metal rods and clamps with composite materials.

Radiolucence is one of the unique properties of composites. Metals block x-rays imaging while composite materials do not. This means composite fixators can remain in place for imaging and allows fractures to be imaged from any desired angle for superior diagnostic accuracy.

Composite materials also offer superior rigidity and reduced weight, especially when using carbon fiber. Reduced weight is appreciated by patients, especially when used in halo braces.

Composite Bone Fixation Device

Polygon pioneered composite laparoscopic tubing and continues to be an innovative engineering partner working with medical device manufacturers to produce unique composite material solutions.

Polygon has over 60 years experience as engineering partners to assure your product will remain confidential and proprietary. Combined with flexible intellectual property agreements, Polygon can be anywhere from a mere supplier to your silent engineering partner for composite material integrations.
