Guide Pin for Intramedullary nail 3.0mm, 46cm

Clinical Application

This guide pin is used to establish and maintain the intramedullary canal trajectory during closed or minimally invasive fixation of long‑bone fractures. It serves as the initial alignment wire for insertion of cannulated intramedullary nails, as a central guide for cannulated reamers and drills, and to facilitate correct depth and rotation during antegrade or retrograde nailing procedures in the femur, tibia and humerus where a 3.0 mm guide is indicated.

Design & Configuration

The straight, rigid shaft geometry provides axial stiffness and tactile feedback that helps the surgeon control entry, advancement and removal. At 46 cm overall length the pin offers sufficient working reach for standard femoral and tibial techniques while remaining manageable for percutaneous handling. A 3.0 mm nominal diameter balances column strength with compatibility for cannulated instruments sized for 3.0 mm guide systems.
