Advanced Fixation for Complex Humerus FracturesEngineered for complex and comminuted humeral shaft fractures, this interlocking humerus nail provides secure and stable internal fixation. Multiple locking holes at both proximal and distal ends enhance versatility and rigid stabilization, promoting optimal healing even in challenging cases such as pathological fractures and non-unions.
Superior Design and Material for Patient SafetyManufactured from high-strength, medical-grade stainless steel or titanium alloy, the nail features an anatomical curvature and a polished finish to reduce tissue irritation. Radiopaque markers allow precise placement control during surgery, ensuring safety and accuracy for both patients and surgeons.
Simple, Sterile, and Versatile Surgical ApplicationPackaged in sterile, peel-open pouches and designed for single-use, the nail remains hygienic and easy to handle. Surgeons can insert it through either antegrade or retrograde approach, using standard orthopedic instruments. Its compatibility and range of sizes support tailored fixation for varied patient anatomies.
FAQs of Inter Locking Humerus Nail:
Q: How is the Inter Locking Humerus Nail inserted during surgery?
A: The nail can be inserted using either an antegrade or retrograde approach, depending on the surgeons preference and the specific fracture location. It is positioned with intraoperative fluoroscopic guidance, and the multiple proximal and distal interlocking holes allow secure fixation with locking screws.
Q: What types of fracture conditions are suitable for using this humerus nail?
A: This implant is indicated for complex and comminuted humeral shaft fractures, pathological fractures, as well as non-union fractures. Its precise locking and stable design make it especially effective in challenging cases requiring rigid internal fixation.
Q: When should the nail be removed or replaced after implantation?
A: The nail is typically left in place until full bone healing has been confirmed, which can vary based on fracture complexity and patient health. Removal or replacement is determined by the treating orthopedic surgeon, based on healing progress and clinical assessment.
Q: Where should the Inter Locking Humerus Nail be stored prior to use?
A: The implant should be stored in a cool, dry environment, away from moisture, and within its original sterile packaging to maintain its integrity until the time of surgery.
Q: What are the benefits of using this anatomically contoured humerus nail?
A: Benefits include enhanced stability due to multiple locking points, reduced tissue irritation from its smooth, polished finish, and improved surgical accuracy through radiopaque markers. Its anatomical design ensures a precise fit, promoting better bone healing outcomes.
Q: How does the sterilization process ensure patient safety?
A: The nails are sterilized using either Ethylene Oxide (ETO) or Gamma irradiation and packaged individually in sterile, peel-open pouches. This ensures the implant remains contamination-free, minimizing the risk of postoperative infections.
