Femoral intramedullary nail TFP

proximal fixationtitanium

The TFP nail is intended for the treatment of proximal femur fractures. The TFP product line consists of: – short nails (L. 190mm) available in 130° and 125° versions – long nails (L. 255mm) available in 130° and 125° versions – neck screws (L. 80 to 120 mm) – sterile cortical bone screws (L. 30, 35 and 40 mm) Features and materials: Each component of the TFP product line is made of titanium alloy (TA6V4). The nail has the following features: – anatomical shape that makes it suitable for the above indications – two lengths: 190 mm (standard) and 255 mm – two neck-shaft angles (125°, 130°) – a 17-mm metaphyseal diameter and 11-mm diaphyseal diameter. The 11-mm diameter femoral neck screw is inserted through a small incision using a radiolucent carbon aiming device. The locking screw, introduced in the proximal end of the nail, is placed in one of the 8 slots on the femoral neck screw to stop it from rotating. The shape of the 8 slots allows for controlled backing-out of the screw that results in dynamic compression of the fracture site during weight bearing. Instrumentation: The TFP nail has its own instrumentation set.
