Clinical Application
This guide pin is intended for use in intramedullary nailing procedures to establish and maintain a central guide within the medullary canal of long bones. It is used during closed or limited-open reductions to provide a stable path for cannulated reamers, guide wires and cannulated nail systems, facilitating accurate nail insertion and alignment in femoral, tibial and humeral fixation procedures.
Design & Configuration
The 2.5 mm shaft diameter provides a balance between low profile and columnar stiffness: small enough to minimize cortical disruption and soft-tissue irritation during initial canal entry, yet sufficiently rigid to resist bending when used as a working guide during reaming and implant passage. The 35 cm overall length accommodates antegrade and retrograde approaches in common long-bone procedures. A straight, continuous shaft geometry promotes predictable passage through the canal and consistent engagement with cannulated instruments.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: guide pin for intramedullary nail systems
- Diameter: 2.5 mm
- Overall length: 35 cm
- Configuration: straight, rigid shaft suitable for cannulated instrument guidance
- Primary use: establishing canal access and guiding cannulated reamers and nails
- Construction: stainless steel; reusable
Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide the stiffness necessary for guide function while resisting corrosion under standard sterilization protocols. The shaft is precision-ground to ensure concentricity for smooth passage of cannulated instruments and consistent alignment during instrumentation. Designed for repeated sterilization and clinical use.
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.
