The Blue Ocean Global Excelsior System is a single-use modular external fixator consisting of implantable half pins and fixation wires and non-patient contact rings, telescoping struts, telescoping rods, threaded rods, posts, hinges, connection plates, twisted plates, threaded sockets, bolts, washers and nuts that are combined by the health care professional to construct different frame configurations based on patient anatomy and indicated use. The frame forms the support metalwork for the torsion wire used in fracture fixation and several other indications for long bone fixation procedures. Special wrenches and accessories are included for the proper assembly of the components. The system is manufactured from stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium.
