Orthopedic Lower Limb Fracture Reduction Kit With Femur Distractor Pet Surgical Instruments

The Orthopedic Lower Limb Fracture Reduction Kit with Femur Distractor is a complete veterinary surgical instrument set used to reduce, distract, and stabilise femur and tibial fractures in dogs and cats. 

Made from high-quality stainless steel, this pet orthopedic instrument kit includes a femur distractor, threaded reduction pins, a driver handle, a service wrench, and a sterilisation tray giving veterinary surgeons a ready-to-use system for accurate lower limb fracture reduction during small animal orthopedic surgery.

Designed specifically for veterinary orthopedics, this lower limb fracture reduction kit pairs a mechanical femur distractor with fixation pins and hand tools to help surgeons achieve controlled bone distraction, precise fragment alignment, and stable positioning before plating, pinning, or screw fixation. The kit is supplied as a complete set (1 set / packing) in a perforated stainless steel sterilisation tray for easy autoclaving, storage, and OR handling.

Key Benefits

• Controlled fracture distraction

The femur distractor’s threaded shaft and articulating clamp arms let surgeons gradually separate bone fragments for clear visualisation of the fracture site.

• Precise fragment fixation

Threaded reduction pins anchor into bone fragments so the distractor can hold and manipulate them with stability.

• Complete, ready-to-use system

Distractor, pins, driver, and wrench are matched and organised in one tray, reducing setup time in surgery.

• Built for small animal anatomy

Sized and engineered for the femur and tibia of dogs and cats, not adapted from human instrumentation.

• Autoclave-ready sterilisation tray

Perforated stainless steel tray with a ventilated lid supports fast, thorough sterilisation between procedures.

• Durable, reusable stainless steel 

Corrosion-resistant construction is built to withstand repeated sterilisation cycles.

What’s Included

Femur Distractor Assembly

• Long threaded distraction shaft with adjustable articulating clamp arm
• Rotating hinge joints for angling the distractor across the fracture site
• Fine-thread adjustment for gradual, controlled bone fragment separation
• Locking nuts to hold distraction position during reduction and fixation

Threaded Reduction Pins

• 4 threaded fixation pins (2 × Ø5.0 mm, 2 × Ø6.0 mm)
• Trocar-style sharp tips for controlled bone purchase
• Quick-connect driver end for use with the T-handle driver

Hand Instruments

• T-handle driver/chuck for inserting and removing threaded pins
• Double-open-end service wrench for tightening distractor hardware
• Metal file/rasp for pin and instrument finishing or edge dressing

How to Use the Femur Distractor Kit

1. Sterilise all instruments in the provided tray prior to surgery.
2. Insert threaded reduction pins into the proximal and distal bone fragments using the T-handle driver.
3. Attach the femur distractor’s clamp arms to the pins and position the shaft across the fracture site.
4. Adjust the threaded shaft to apply controlled distraction, separating and aligning the fragments.
5. Use the wrench to secure locking nuts and maintain distraction during plating, pinning, or screw fixation.
6. Release and remove the distractor and pins once fixation is stable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a femur distractor used for in veterinary surgery? 

A femur distractor applies controlled traction across a fractured femur, separating bone fragments so the surgeon can visualise, align, and reduce the fracture accurately before internal or external fixation.

Is this fracture reduction kit suitable for both dogs and cats? 

Yes. The kit is designed for lower limb long bone fractures in dogs and cats and is sized appropriately for small animal femur and tibia anatomy.

What size reduction pins are included in this kit? 

The kit includes four threaded reduction pins two at Ø5.0 mm and two at Ø6.0 mm to accommodate different bone fragment sizes.

Can the instruments in this kit be sterilised and reused? 

Yes. All instruments are made from high-quality stainless steel and are supplied in an autoclave-sterilisable tray, allowing repeated sterilisation and reuse across procedures.

What tools are included besides the femur distractor? 

The set includes threaded reduction pins, a T-handle driver, an open-end wrench for hardware adjustment, and a metal file, all organised in a perforated sterilisation tray.

Is this kit intended for veterinary use only? 

 Yes. This instrument set is manufactured specifically for veterinary orthopedic surgery in companion animals and is not intended for human surgical use.

How many sets come in one order? 

The kit is supplied as one complete set (1 set) containing the femur distractor, reduction pins, hand tools, and sterilisation tray.
