Ankle intramedullary nail

proximal fixationdistal fixationmetallic

Made of continuous carbon fibers reinforced polymer. The carbon fibers are arranged in a unidirectional longitudinal orientation, as well as in a diagonal orientation, allowing multidirectional strength in all planes. Radiolucent: Clear view of the fusion site. External compression up to 30mm using the Insertion Handle. The screw holes have an inner thread for enhanced screw fixation to the nail. The nail cap is made of composite material and is radiolucent. Radiopaque markers around the drill holes and along the nails’ length axis facilitate positioning and drilling. Features Radiolucent: Superior fusion site imaging. Unparalleled fatigue strength. Improved modulus of elasticity. No artifacts in CT & MRI due to the nail. Proximal Screws: Ø10mm nail – Ø4.0mm, Ø12mm nail – Ø5.0mm Distal Screws: Ø5.0mm Nail Caps available in lengths of: 4, 8 & 12mm * CarboFix nails & plates are supplied sterile ** CarboFix nails & plates are also known as Piccolo Composite® nails & plates
