Tabb for hook end Intramed/nail

Clinical Application

Designed for use in orthopedic intramedullary fixation procedures, this instrument provides controlled engagement of nails that feature a hook or eye on the exposed end. It is used to capture, manipulate, reduce, and, where applicable, extract intramedullary implants during femoral, tibial, humeral, and other long-bone procedures. The instrument aids precise axial control of the implant during insertion and removal without necessitating excessive soft-tissue dissection.

Design & Configuration

The hook-profile tip is configured to seat securely under a nail's hook or eye to transmit axial and rotational forces while minimizing slippage. A slender shaft affords access into the proximal canal and working corridor used in antegrade and retrograde techniques. The overall geometry emphasizes positive engagement with the implant end so the surgeon can apply steady traction or rotation during alignment, seating, or extraction maneuvers.
