Pin-Rod Coupling Ø11/5–6mm

Pin-Rod Coupling Ø11/5–6mm

The Pin-Rod Coupling Ø11/5–6mm connects a compatible 11 mm external fixation rod to a 5–6 mm bone pin. This rod-pin connection forms part of the selected external fixator assembly.

Request the matching rod and pin specifications, component material, locking instrument, and compatibility information. Contact our team for an itemized quotation.

Product Specifications

Pin-Rod Coupling Ø11/5–6mm

The Pin-Rod Coupling Ø11/5–6mm provides a connection between a compatible external fixation rod and bone pin. Its two interfaces accommodate different component types: an 11 mm rod and a 5–6 mm pin.

When selecting a coupling, rod diameter and pin diameter must be specified separately. Confirm the actual fixation system, component dimensions, and matching instruments before ordering.

Explore the External Fixation System range for related components.

Rod and Pin Connection Sizes

Connection Nominal size
Rod interface Ø11 mm
Pin interface Ø5–6 mm
Connection type Pin-to-rod
System compatibility Requires documented confirmation

The designation does not describe a coupling for a 6 mm structural rod. It also does not establish compatibility with every rod or pin of the stated diameter.

Function Within the Frame

The coupling connects the selected bone fixation element to the external rod assembly.

It should be evaluated together with the rod, pin, locking hardware, and instruments. The connector alone does not establish the loading limits or stability of the complete frame.

Rod Interface

Confirm the supported 11 mm rod reference, material, and profile. A metallic rod and a carbon-fiber rod should not automatically be considered interchangeable.

Pin Interface

Confirm the compatible pin dimensions and the clamping portion identified in the system documentation.

The 5–6 mm designation does not establish suitability for every pin design or every intermediate diameter without supporting specifications.

Locking Instrument

Request the correct driver or wrench interface. Assembly and tightening must follow the instructions for the selected component.

A generic torque value from another clamp should not be substituted for the specified requirement.

Pin-Rod Coupling Versus Rod-Rod Coupling

A pin-rod coupling joins a bone fixation element to a connecting rod. A rod-rod coupling joins two structural rods.

Component Connection
Pin-Rod Coupling Ø11/5–6mm 11 mm rod to a compatible 5–6 mm pin
Rod-Rod Coupling Ø11/11mm Two compatible 11 mm rods

These connectors perform different functions. One should not be substituted for the other solely because the clamp bodies look similar.

Compatibility and Component Selection

For a rod-pin coupling enquiry, provide:

  • The external fixation system being used.
  • Rod diameter, material, and reference.
  • Pin dimensions and reference.
  • Required coupling quantity.
  • Instrument requirements.
  • Documentation needs.

Matching nominal dimensions are only part of component selection. Confirm the documented interface and system combination.

Specific features such as lateral attachment, snap-on assembly, independent rotation, or single-instrument tightening should only be advertised when verified for the supplied component.

Material and Product Documentation

Request the material specification and supporting information for the actual coupling supplied.

Colour, finish, or a general description such as “surgical metal” does not establish an alloy grade. Likewise, material identification alone does not establish MRI suitability or permission for reuse.

Relevant documentation includes the specification sheet, compatibility information, instructions for use, labeling, and applicable processing requirements.

Ordering and Replacement Enquiries

A replacement request should identify both sides of the connection.

For example, state that the requirement is for an 11 mm rod to 5–6 mm pin coupling, together with the existing system details and quantity.

Confirm whether the quotation includes the coupling body, locking hardware, or additional accessories. Pins, rods, and instruments should not be assumed included.

For broader product requirements, review the Trauma Implants range.

Pin-Rod Coupling Price

To request a pin-rod coupling price, provide the connection dimensions, required quantity, and matching system information.

Hospitals and distributors in Africa, Latin America, and Russia can request a quotation with their destination and documentation requirements.

FAQs

What is a pin-rod coupling?

It is a clamp that connects a compatible bone fixation pin to an external fixation rod.

Is rod-pin coupling another name for this component?

Yes. “Rod-pin coupling” and “pin-rod coupling” describe the connection between these two component types. Exact dimensions and compatibility still need to match.

What does Ø11/5–6mm mean?

It identifies an 11 mm rod interface and a 5–6 mm pin interface. The rod and pin dimensions are different.

Is this a 6mm rod coupler or 6mm rod coupling?

No. The 6 mm measurement relates to the pin side. The rod interface is 11 mm. If a 6 mm rod coupling is required, request a component specifically documented for that rod diameter.

Can it connect two rods?

It should not be treated as a rod-rod coupling. Use a connector documented for the required rod-to-rod arrangement.

Can it be used with an 8 mm rod?

The listed rod interface is 11 mm. Request a correctly sized coupling for an 8 mm rod system.

Does it fit every 5 mm or 6 mm pin?

Do not assume universal compatibility. Confirm the pin reference, clamping dimensions, and system documentation.

What material is supplied?

Request confirmation of the material and grade for the selected coupling.

Is the coupling MRI compatible?

MRI suitability requires assessment of the exact components and assembled frame using applicable labeling. It cannot be inferred from material or appearance alone.

Is it reusable?

Follow the labeling and instructions for the supplied product. Do not assume reusable or single-use status from the component category.

What tightening torque should be used?

Use the product-specific requirement and matching instrument. Do not rely on a general torque value.
