ELEMENTO TENSOR PARA A IMOBILIZAÇÃO DE UMA FRATURA ÓSSEA, BEM COMO DISPOSITIVO DE IMOBILIZAÇÃO MODULAR APRESENTANDO O MESMO E PROCESSO PARA A PRODUÇÃO DO MESMO
Disclosed is a clamping element for setting a bone fracture. The element comprises a closed contoured body which has a substantially hollow cross-section and is enclosed by a peripheral wall. The contoured body has two opposite receiving portions at the end faces thereof, the receiving portions being intended to receive fixing elements which can be pushed through the body, and has two lateral flanks having angled portions. The peripheral wall of the contoured body is resiliently deformable at least in sections, in particular in the region of the receiving portions on the end faces of same and in the region of the lateral angled portions. A defined resilient behavior of the clamping element can be impressed via the angled portions in such a way that a predetermined tension can be generated between the receiving portions. Also disclosed are a method for producing the clamping element and a setting device for using said clamping element.
