Tabb for hook end Intramed/nail

Clinical Application

Designed for use in intramedullary nailing procedures, this hook-ended Tabb instrument provides a controlled means to engage the hook end of nails, nail components, or cortical fragments. It is used during implantation, adjustment, reduction and extraction steps where precise purchase on a nail end or bone fragment is required. The instrument aids surgeons in delivering axial traction, controlling rotation, and facilitating removal of implant components without relying on temporary fixation devices.

Design & Configuration

The single‑ended hook geometry concentrates force at a defined tip to reliably engage nail ends or retrieval eyes while minimizing bulk within the surgical field. A slim shaft and low‑profile hook help reduce soft‑tissue interference and improve access down narrow incisions or along the canal. The hand-held configuration gives direct tactile feedback for controlled traction and fine adjustments during reduction or extraction maneuvers.
