Product Overview
The 32cm (320mm) ball chain is the extended-length variant of the Tupper’s Universal Hand Table fixation system. While standard chains handle routine digital retraction, the 32cm length is the primary choice for larger frames, pediatric cases where the frame is positioned further from the site, or for creating steep retraction angles in deep wrist or forearm exposures. Each chain features a precision-milled hook that “dead-locks” onto soft tissue or finger traps, while the spherical links anchor securely into the slots of the hand table frame.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Reach” 32cm Profile: The extended length offers superior versatility, allowing for tensioning from the furthest notches of the frame. This is essential for maintaining a clear operative field during complex pollicization or multi-tendon transfers.
-
Micro-Incremental Tensioning: The ball-chain geometry allows for high-precision, millimeter-by-millimeter adjustments. The surgeon can increase or decrease tension instantly, ensuring the tissue remains stationary under the “beast” authority of the frame.
-
Atraumatic Fixation Hooks: Forged with smooth, rounded tips that provide a secure grip on the dermis, fascia, or rubber elastic bands without causing piercing trauma or premature tissue fatigue.
-
High-Tensile Structural Integrity: Manufactured from premium, hardened surgical stainless steel. The links are engineered to withstand significant pull-force without stretching or snapping, ensuring the retraction remains constant throughout the procedure.
-
Modular “Plug-and-Play” Design: Fully compatible with the Tupper’s Universal Hand Table and various other “Star” and “Octopus” fixation frames. The 32cm length makes it a vital addition to any specialized hand surgery set.
