Tabb for hook end Intramed/nail

Clinical Application

Designed for use in intramedullary nailing procedures, this instrument provides a controlled method to engage, manipulate and extract nails, distal or proximal nail fragments, and guidewires within the intramedullary canal. It is commonly used in trauma and orthopedic cases for femoral, tibial and humeral nails where a small-profile hooked tip is needed to retrieve or reposition implants without expanding the surgical exposure.

Design & Configuration

The single-hook tip and slender shaft geometry allow direct access into the canal and around nail edges or fragments. The hook profile delivers secure engagement while minimizing soft‑tissue disruption, and the shaft is sized to pass through common instrumentation portals and incisions used during closed or limited-open nailing techniques. This configuration helps the surgeon apply focused traction or rotation to seat, dislodge or extract components under fluoroscopic guidance.
