Guide Pin for Intramedullary nail 3.5mm, 46cm

Clinical Application

This guide pin is used to establish and maintain the intramedullary trajectory for insertion of a 3.5 mm cannulated intramedullary nail. It serves as the primary reference wire for sequential reaming, placement of cannulated drills, and final nail insertion in long-bone fixation procedures. Typical applications include small-bone and pediatric long-bone nailing where a 3.5 mm nail system is indicated.

Design & Configuration

The straight, single-piece shaft provides a stable, centered pathway within the medullary canal. The 3.5 mm diameter is sized to seat within corresponding cannulated implants and instruments, ensuring coaxial alignment during reaming and implant delivery. The 46 cm length offers sufficient working reach for most long-bone procedures while allowing handling and control outside the operative field. A balance of rigidity and controlled flexibility helps resist bending during passage yet permits minor contouring for anatomic alignment.
