Guide Pin for Intramedullary nail 2.5mm, 46cm

Clinical Application

This guide pin serves as the primary alignment and access element for intramedullary nailing procedures. It is used to establish and maintain a continuous path through the medullary canal, to guide cannulated reamers and implants, and to preserve reduction while preparing and inserting intramedullary nails in long-bone fracture fixation (e.g., femur, tibia, humerus). The 2.5 mm diameter provides a balance of stiffness for accurate targeting and minimal bone removal during entry.

Design & Configuration

A long, straight 46 cm shaft provides sufficient working length for most long-bone intramedullary procedures while minimizing the need for auxiliary extension tools. The straight, rigid geometry maintains guide position during reaming and nail insertion, reducing the risk of inadvertent loss of canal access. A smooth, polished shaft reduces soft-tissue and cortical drag, facilitating passage through soft tissues and cannulated instruments.

Instrument Specifications

• Diameter: 2.5 mm
• Length: 46 cm
• Primary function: guide and alignment for intramedullary nailing and reaming
• Construction: reusable solid stainless steel shaft

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide the rigidity required for canal guidance and resistance to bending during instrumentation. The shaft is finished to a smooth surface to limit friction against cannulated tools and bone. Designed for repeated use and standard sterilization processes.

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.
