Patient benefits
ActivaNail™ is a beneficial tool regarding osteotomies and fractures. Simply put, it is a small nail holding pieces of bone together while they naturally regenerate. Compared to ActivaPin™, ActivaNail™ provides additional support with its small nail-shaped head.
While slowly degrading, the bioabsorbable implant slowly transfers stress back to the healing bone, assisting in the rehabilitation process. Due to the implant absorption, the risks of implant-related long term complications are eliminated. ActivaNail™ material is replaced by bone in approximately two years*.
