Driver/ Ext. for Intramedullary Nails 6.4mm

Clinical Application

This driver/extension is intended to transmit axial torque and establish a controlled connection between a hand or power driver and an intramedullary nail that accepts a 6.4mm drive interface. It is used during nail insertion, seating, and removal in trauma and orthopedic procedures involving long-bone fixation (for example femoral, tibial, and humeral nails). The extension function provides additional reach and alignment control when the proximal nail opening is recessed or when soft-tissue and guide instrumentation limit direct access.

Design & Configuration

The straight extension geometry provides extended reach from the handle or power source to the nail driver interface while maintaining inline torque transfer. A precisely machined 6.4mm drive coupling ensures engagement with compatible nail receptacles, allowing controlled insertion and removal without excessive play. The extension form factor facilitates work in deep or constrained surgical fields and helps maintain axial alignment to reduce cross-threading or mis-engagement during final seating.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Driver / extension for intramedullary nails
• Drive interface: 6.4mm coupling
• Configuration: Straight extension shaft (driver/extension)
• Typical surgical use: Insertion and extraction of intramedullary nails for long-bone fixation

Material & Construction

Constructed from precision-machined stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance and durability under repeated surgical use and sterilization cycles. The drive interface is manufactured to tight tolerances to deliver reliable torque transmission and tactile feedback during engagement with compatible nail systems. Reusable construction supports standard decontamination and autoclave workflows.

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.
