The Chang Pin Clamp is designed for controlled handling and positioning in compatible orthopedic procedures requiring a compact pin-clamping instrument. Its 6" (15.2 cm) overall length provides a manageable configuration for controlled instrument manipulation.

The clamp incorporates a 1.8 mm internal-diameter cannula and a locking ratchet that opens to 25 mm. These defined dimensions provide the instrument with a specific working configuration for compatible pin-related applications.

Design and Configuration

The Chang Pin Clamp combines a compact overall length with a cannulated working configuration and locking ratchet mechanism.

Key features include:

• 6" (15.2 cm) overall length
• 1.8 mm cannula internal diameter
• Locking ratchet opening to 25 mm
• Compact configuration for controlled handling

Orthopedic Applications

The Chang Pin Clamp is designed for compatible applications involving:

• Pin handling and positioning
• Controlled stabilization during orthopedic procedures
• Trauma and reconstructive orthopedic applications
• Procedures requiring a compact locking clamp configuration

Specific application should be determined according to the applicable surgical technique and procedural requirements.

Handling and Use Considerations

The instrument should be selected according to the required pin dimensions and working configuration. The cannula internal diameter should be compatible with the intended pin or related component.

The locking ratchet should be used within its specified opening range and the instrument should not be subjected to forces beyond its intended application.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

Reusable surgical instruments should be cleaned and processed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and validated healthcare-facility protocols. After cleaning, inspect the cannula, ratchet mechanism, working surfaces, and overall alignment for cleanliness and proper function.

Sterilization and Inspection

Before reuse, the clamp should undergo the validated cleaning, disinfection, packaging, and sterilization process appropriate for the instrument. Inspect for damage, deformation, corrosion, blockage of the cannula, or impaired ratchet function before returning it to service.
