About the TrueLok EVO Ring Fixation System
The TrueLok EVO system is the only circular fixator on the market that features both radiolucent rings and struts to enable clear radiographic visualization. This innovative design allows physicians to better assess bone anatomy during surgery and post-operative care.
Packaged as a sterile preassembled frame set, the TrueLok EVO frame presents a streamlined configuration that helps reduce the time needed to prepare the device for the procedure. Additionally, the radiolucent rings and struts make it easier to visualize under X-ray the precise placement of the device on the bone during surgery.
The TrueLok EVO system is intended for fixation of open and closed fractures, limb lengthening by metaphyseal or epiphyseal distractions, treatment of nonunion or pseudarthrosis of long bones, and correction of bony or soft tissue defects or deformities in adult and pediatric groups (excluding newborns). The TrueLok EVO system may be used in a hybrid frame construction with the ProCallus™ Fixator, XCaliber™ Fixators and the Galaxy Fixation™ system. It is also compatible with the TrueLok and TL-HEX™ systems.
