About This Part
External fixators rely on rigid yet lightweight rods and precision clamps to hold bone pins in the correct position for weeks or months. KGL machines these components from 7075-T6 and 6061-T6 aluminum to keep weight low while maintaining the stiffness needed for load-bearing frames. We supply turned rods, milled clamps, hinge joints, and threaded connectors to medical-device developers and contract manufacturers.
Every lot runs under our ISO 13485:2016 quality system. We can reference ASTM F1541 dimensional and mechanical requirements, and we ship CMM reports with critical bore and pin-hole dimensions.
This part family supports the Medical Devices industry. Read how KGL machines parts for that sector, then send your drawing for a quote.
Why Machine It at KGL
Five-Axis Fleet
100+ CNC machines including 11 five-axis centers run complex geometry in single setups, so tolerances do not stack up across refixturing.
Verified Accuracy
±0.005 mm standard on metals, plastics, and carbon fiber composite, verified on Hexagon and Zeiss CMMs (0.0015 mm accuracy).
Fast Prototypes
Engineering feedback with every quotation; prototype parts typically machined in 15 to 25 days.
One Supplier, End to End
Material sourcing, machining, heat treatment coordination, finishing, CMM inspection and export packaging under one roof.
Part-Specific Advantages
- Lightweight 7075-T6 aluminum keeps patient load manageable without sacrificing frame stiffness.
- Black hard anodized surface cuts reflection under surgical lights and improves wear resistance.
- Pin holes and clamp bores are CMM-checked so rods, pins, and clamps fit without rework.
- Modular threads and quick-connect features are turned and milled in one programmed workflow.
- ISO 13485 traceability from raw material to final inspection report.
Typical Applications
- Trauma orthopedic temporary fixation for open and comminuted fractures
- Limb-lengthening frames
- O/X-leg deformity correction fixtures
- Emergency and field-stabilization frames

Common Questions
Can you supply complete fixator kits or only individual rods?
We can supply both. Many customers start with individual rods and clamps for validation, then move to complete kits once the design is frozen.
What drawing formats do you accept?
STEP, IGES, DWG, and PDF prints. Send both the 3D model and a 2D drawing with tolerances and surface-treatment callouts.
Do you offer passivation or anodize only?
Yes. We can ship bead-blast-only, clear anodize, or black hard anodize. Specify medical-grade finishing requirements on your RFQ.
