Guide Pin for Intramedullary nail 4.0mm, 35cm

Clinical Application

Used during intramedullary nailing procedures of long bones (for example femur, tibia, and humerus) to establish and maintain the correct intramedullary canal trajectory. Functions as the initial guide for progressive reaming, cannulated nail passage, and targeting systems for locking screws. Employed under fluoroscopic control to confirm central alignment and depth prior to definitive implant placement.

Design & Configuration

The straight, rigid geometry provides axial stiffness necessary to transmit tactile feedback and maintain alignment during reaming and nail insertion. A 4.0 mm shaft diameter balances flexibility and rigidity for control in long-bone applications, while the 35 cm length reaches typical femoral and tibial entry points and provides sufficient working length for intraoperative manipulation and imaging. The pin is intended for use with cannulated instruments and nail systems that accept a 4.0 mm guide pin to ensure sequential instrumentation follows the desired canal path.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Guide pin for intramedullary nail
• Pattern / model: For intramedullary nail systems
• Configuration: Straight, rigid
• Length or size: 4.0 mm diameter; 35 cm length
• Typical surgical use: Canal navigation, reaming guide, nail passage and targeting

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide a durable, corrosion-resistant shaft suitable for repeated sterilization cycles. The solid shaft construction ensures consistent stiffness and reliable tactile feedback during reaming and nail insertion. No single-use disposables are required when the instrument is reprocessed according to facility protocols.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
