Elastic Intramedullary Nail System
Elastic titanium nails for diaphyseal fractures of long bones, inserted through small incisions away from the fracture.
Product details
Two nails, balanced support
Two pre-contoured elastic nails of the same diameter are inserted from opposite sides of the metaphysis. Each nail bows against the inner cortex, and the two opposing curves hold the fracture in alignment from inside the canal. The fracture site stays closed.
Key features
Indicated for diaphyseal fractures of the forearm, humerus, femur and tibia.
Titanium nails in seven diameters from 1.5 to 4.5 mm, in 0.5 mm steps, each 440 mm long; colour coded by diameter.
The nail tip and bow can be shaped to the canal during surgery.
End cap for the nail end.
Instruments: nail inserter/remover, nail tamps with 0 mm and 1.5 cm offset, nail bender, nail cutter, nail plier, removal mallet and system tray; instruments and tray are also available sterile.
Surgical technique at a glance
Mark the insertion points on the metaphysis, away from the physis.
Open the cortex obliquely with a drill slightly larger than the nail.
Shape the tip and the bow, then insert the nail with the inserter.
Reduce the fracture and pass the nail across it; insert a second nail of the same diameter from the opposite side.
Seat the nails with the tamp, cut them leaving a short end for removal, and fit the end cap.
After healing, remove the nails with the inserter/remover or the plier and mallet.
