Stainless Steel & Carbon Fiber Orthopedic Traction Frames — Lower Extremity Traction Surgery Systems

Product Title

Orthopedic Traction Frame for Operating Tables | Stainless Steel & Carbon Fiber Designs for Hip, Knee & Lower Extremity Traction Surgery | Universal Compatibility with Customizable Interfaces

Product Overview

Engineered for precision traction and stabilization during lower-extremity orthopedic surgery, this comprehensive orthopedic traction frame system provides rigid, adjustable support for hip arthroplasty, knee arthroplasty, tibial fixation, and a wide range of lower-limb traction procedures. The system is constructed from either medical-grade stainless steel or high-strength carbon fiber, delivering the structural rigidity needed to sustain traction forces throughout the procedure while remaining lightweight enough for rapid repositioning and setup.

Every frame in the range is designed for universal compatibility with any brand of operating table, and the system accepts customized interfaces to accommodate facility-specific table rails, proprietary mounting geometries, or non-standard surgical workflows. The modular architecture allows surgical teams to configure the frame with a comprehensive suite of accessories — including connecting seats, disc racks, perineal columns, lateral-lying position assemblies, traction rods, lower-leg supports, tibial stretching supports, and traction shoes — creating a fully tailored traction platform for each procedure.

Whether the surgical team requires a standard stainless steel frame for routine traction, a lightweight carbon fiber frame for fluoroscopy-friendly imaging, or a floor-type frame with five-point braking for maximum stability under heavy loads, this system delivers the versatility and performance demanded by modern orthopedic operating rooms.

Key Features & Clinical Advantages

  • Stainless steel and carbon fiber construction — Frames are available in corrosion-resistant stainless steel for maximum durability or carbon fiber for reduced weight and radiolucency, enabling intraoperative fluoroscopy without frame removal or image artifact.

  • Universal operating table compatibility — Standard mounting interfaces fit any brand of OT table side rail, and customized adapter interfaces are available on request, ensuring seamless integration into multi-brand surgical environments.

  • Modular accessory ecosystem — The system supports a comprehensive range of attachable components — connecting seats, disc racks, perineal columns, lateral-lying assemblies, traction rods, lower-leg supports, tibial stretching supports, and traction shoes — allowing the frame to be configured for virtually any lower-extremity traction requirement.

  • 360-degree universal adjustment — Select models feature full 360-degree rotational adjustment, enabling the traction vector to be oriented in any direction to match the surgical approach — anterior, lateral, or oblique — without repositioning the entire frame.

  • Five-point brake system (floor-type models) — Floor-standing traction frames are equipped with a five-point braking mechanism that locks the base firmly to the operating table bottom, preventing any shift or creep under sustained traction loads during lengthy procedures.

  • Customizable interfaces — Facilities with specialized table geometries or unique surgical requirements can request custom-machined interface adapters, ensuring a precise fit and eliminating the need for improvised mounting solutions.

Model Variants & Specifications

QY900A — Stainless Steel Orthopedic Traction Frame
The standard configuration for most lower-extremity orthopedic traction cases, the QY900A is built on a robust stainless steel frame that delivers proven structural rigidity and long-term corrosion resistance. This model serves as the workhorse of the traction frame range, suitable for routine hip and femoral traction, tibial stretching, and lower-limb fixation procedures where carbon fiber radiolucency is not required. The stainless steel construction withstands repeated disinfection and heavy mechanical loading, making it the most cost-effective choice for high-volume orthopedic departments. All standard accessories — connecting seat, disc rack, perineal column, traction rod, lower-leg support, tibial stretching support, and traction shoes — are fully compatible.

QY900B — Single-Pole Carbon Fiber Traction Frame
Designed for lower-extremity traction procedures that benefit from a single carbon-fiber support pole, this variant reduces the frame's overall weight and profile while maintaining the structural strength needed for standard traction loads. The carbon fiber construction provides radiolucency, allowing intraoperative fluoroscopic imaging of the hip, femur, and knee without removing or repositioning the frame — preserving the sterile field and reducing operative time. The single-pole design is ideal for procedures where unilateral traction access is sufficient and where minimizing the frame's footprint around the surgical site improves surgeon ergonomics.

QY900B — Double-Pole Carbon Fiber Traction Frame
The double-pole variant of the QY900B platform upgrades to dual carbon-fiber support poles for significantly increased load-bearing capacity and torsional rigidity. This configuration is specified for heavier patients, procedures requiring higher traction forces, or cases where maximum frame stability under load is essential — such as complex femoral fracture reductions or bilateral lower-limb procedures. Despite the added structural capacity, the carbon fiber construction retains full radiolucency for intraoperative imaging. The twin-pole architecture distributes traction forces more evenly across the frame, reducing deflection and maintaining precise traction alignment throughout the case.

QY900C — Carbon Fiber Hip Traction Frame
A 360-degree universal-adjustment carbon fiber traction frame purpose-built for hip arthroplasty, knee arthroplasty, and comprehensive lower-limb orthopedic traction surgery. The full rotational capability allows the traction vector to be directed at any angle around the patient's longitudinal axis, accommodating anterior, lateral, and oblique surgical approaches without repositioning the frame on the table. The carbon fiber material ensures complete fluoroscopic transparency, making this model the preferred choice for image-guided joint replacement and periacetabular procedures where real-time imaging is integral to surgical accuracy. The frame accepts the full accessory range, including perineal columns for counter-traction during hip reduction and traction shoes for secure foot fixation.

QY900D — Floor-Type Carbon Fiber Traction Frame
A floor-standing traction frame that connects directly to the bottom of the operating table, providing an independent structural base that does not rely solely on the table's side rail for load support. This model is equipped with a five-point brake system that locks the frame base firmly to the floor and table underside, delivering exceptional stability under heavy traction loads — making it the most rigid platform in the range. The floor-type design is specified for procedures requiring maximum traction force, such as complex hip dislocation reductions, revision arthroplasty with significant soft-tissue contracture, or bariatric orthopedic cases where side-rail-mounted frames may approach their load limits. The carbon fiber construction maintains full radiolucency for intraoperative imaging.

Modular Accessory Components

The orthopedic traction frame system supports a comprehensive suite of interchangeable accessories that can be combined to create procedure-specific configurations:

Connecting Seat — The primary interface module that attaches the traction frame to the operating table rail, providing the structural link between the frame and the table. Available in standard and custom configurations to fit any OT table brand.

Disc Rack — A rotating disc-mounting platform that allows the traction assembly to be oriented at multiple angular positions, enabling fine-tuned alignment of the traction vector with the patient's anatomical axis.

Perineal Column — A padded counter-traction post positioned at the perineum to provide opposing force during hip and femoral traction. The column prevents the patient from sliding on the table during reduction maneuvers and is essential for safe, controlled hip arthroplasty and fracture reduction.

Lateral-Lying Position Assembly — An accessory kit that reconfigures the traction frame for lateral decubitus positioning, enabling traction procedures on the hip, femur, or tibia with the patient in the lateral position — critical for certain fracture fixation and arthroplasty approaches.

Traction Rod — The primary load-bearing rod that transmits traction force from the frame to the patient's limb via the traction shoe or lower-leg support. Available in multiple lengths to accommodate different patient heights and procedural requirements.

Lower-Leg Support — A padded cradle that supports the patient's lower leg during traction, distributing pressure along the calf and preventing focal compression of the peroneal nerve and popliteal vessels.

Tibial Stretching Support — A specialized support module designed for tibial lengthening and stretching procedures, providing controlled, incremental distraction force along the tibial axis with precise mechanical adjustment.

Traction Shoes — Padded foot fixation boots that secure the patient's foot to the traction rod, transmitting traction force through the ankle and lower leg while protecting the skin and soft tissues of the foot from pressure injury.

Clinical Applications

This orthopedic traction frame system is indicated for a broad range of lower-extremity surgical procedures:

  • Hip arthroplasty — Total and partial hip replacement with traction-assisted dislocation, reduction, and component positioning; perineal column provides essential counter-traction.

  • Knee arthroplasty — Total and unicompartmental knee replacement with traction-assisted limb alignment and gap balancing.

  • Femoral fracture reduction — Closed and open reduction of femoral shaft, intertrochanteric, and subtrochanteric fractures with controlled traction and rotational alignment.

  • Tibial fracture fixation — Traction-assisted reduction and intramedullary nailing of tibial shaft fractures with tibial stretching support for length restoration.

  • Hip dislocation reduction — Emergency and elective reduction of native hip and prosthetic hip dislocations with controlled traction force.

  • Lower-limb lengthening and deformity correction — Gradual or acute tibial and femoral lengthening procedures using the tibial stretching support module.

  • Arthroscopic hip and knee surgery — Traction-assisted joint distraction for hip and knee arthroscopy, where carbon fiber frames provide unobstructed fluoroscopic access.

  • Bariatric orthopedic surgery — Floor-type frames with five-point braking provide the additional stability needed for higher-BMI patients requiring lower-extremity traction.

  • Revision arthroplasty — Complex revision hip and knee procedures with significant soft-tissue contracture requiring sustained, high-force traction for exposure.
