Expert Femoral Intramedullary Nail Instrument Set | Antegrade & Retrograde Nailing System Tools

Comprehensive Expert Femoral Intramedullary Nail Instrument Set

At OrthoPro, we specialize in providing high-performance orthopedic solutions to the global medical community. Our Expert Femoral Intramedullary Nail Instrument Set is meticulously engineered to meet the complex demands of modern trauma surgery. Designed to facilitate the implantation and extraction of expert-grade femoral nails, this instrument set offers unparalleled versatility, allowing surgeons to address femoral shaft fractures, distal femur fractures, and subtrochanteric fractures with a single, comprehensive system.

The Expert Femoral Intramedullary Nail Instrument Set streamlines the surgical workflow by combining precision engineering with intuitive design. Whether utilizing an Antegrade (piriformis fossa or greater trochanter entry) or Retrograde approach, this set provides the specific tools required for efficient reduction, reaming, insertion, and locking, ensuring a stable construct and promoting early patient mobilization.

Key Features and Surgical Benefits

Our commitment to quality ensures that every tool in this kit enhances the surgeon’s ability to perform minimally invasive procedures effectively.

• Dual Approach Capability: The set is uniquely configured to support both Antegrade and Retrograde surgical techniques, maximizing hospital inventory efficiency.
• Radiolucent Aiming Technology: Features Carbon Fiber or PEEK aiming arms that are radiolucent, allowing for unobstructed fluoroscopic views during distal locking, which significantly reduces radiation exposure.
• Ergonomic Design: Silicone-grip handles and quick-coupling mechanisms reduce surgeon fatigue and allow for seamless instrument exchange during critical surgical steps.
• High-Grade Materials: Manufactured from medical-grade Stainless Steel and Aluminum alloy, offering superior corrosion resistance and durability through repeated autoclave sterilization cycles.

Detailed Instrument Configuration

The OrthoPro Expert Femoral Intramedullary Nail Instrument Set is housed in a graphic sterilization case with silicone brackets for secure transport and organization. The kit includes the following categories of specialized instruments:

1. Entry and Preparation Instruments

Correct entry point establishment is crucial for successful nailing. The set includes:

• Guide Wires: High-stiffness threaded and smooth guide wires (typically 3.2mm) to prevent deflection during insertion.
• Multi-hole Wire Guide: To assist in determining the precise entry point.
• Entry Reamer/Awl: Cannulated rigid reamers and curved awls designed to open the cortex at the piriformis fossa or trochanteric tip without damaging surrounding soft tissue.
• Protection Sleeves: Tissue protection sleeves to safeguard muscles and skin during reaming.

2. Reduction and Reaming Tools

To prepare the medullary canal for the implant:

• Reduction Finger/Tool: Assists in manipulating fracture fragments to achieve anatomical alignment before nail insertion.
• T-Handle & Chucks: Universal T-handles compatible with flexible reamer shafts (sold separately) or rigid hand reamers included in the set.
• Ball-Tip Guide Rod Pusher: For inserting the reaming rod down the medullary canal.

3. Insertion and Targeting System

The core of the Expert Femoral Intramedullary Nail Instrument Set ensures accurate nail placement:

• Insertion Handle: A robust, cannulated handle that connects securely to the nail top, providing rotational stability during insertion. It features a striking surface for controlled impaction.
• Aiming Arm Assembly: A modular aiming device that attaches to the insertion handle. It is calibrated for specific nail lengths and locking options (static, dynamic, or compression).
• Connecting Screws: Heavy-duty cannulated connecting screws to lock the nail to the handle rigidly.

4. Locking and Screw Insertion

Precise distal and proximal locking is facilitated by:

• Drill Sleeves System: A nested system of protection sleeves, drill sleeves, and trocar guides to ensure the drill bit is perfectly centered on the locking hole.
• Calibrated Drill Bits: Color-coded drill bits corresponding to the locking screw diameters (typically 4.2mm or 5.0mm), featuring laser-marked depth lines.
• Depth Gauge: A hook-probe depth gauge for accurate measurement of screw length required.
• Screwdrivers: Star-drive (Stardrive) or Hexagonal screwdrivers with self-retaining functions to prevent screw drop inside the wound.

5. Extraction and Revision Tools

For implant removal or revision surgeries, the set includes:

• Extraction Bolt: Attaches to the top of the nail for connection to the slide hammer.
• Slotted Hammer / Slide Hammer: Provides the necessary backward force to extract the nail safely from the canal.

Technical Specifications and Quality Assurance

All instruments within the Expert Femoral Intramedullary Nail Instrument Set undergo rigorous quality control inspections. The instruments are passivated to prevent rust and are matte-finished to reduce glare under operating theater lights. The sterilization case is designed for standard steam autoclave cycles (134°C).
