Guide Pin for Intramedullary nail 5.0mm, 35cm

Clinical Application

This guide pin is used during intramedullary nailing procedures to establish and maintain a central path through the medullary canal. It provides a stable track for cannulated reamers, drills, and nails and facilitates fluoroscopic alignment, nail insertion, and depth control in long-bone fractures (e.g., femur, tibia, humerus) in adult patients. The 5.0 mm diameter is intended for cases and implant systems that specify a 5.0 mm guide diameter.

Design & Configuration

The straight, high‑column‑strength geometry provides axial stiffness to resist bending during reaming and nail passage, reducing the risk of guide deformation. At 35 cm length the pin supplies adequate working length for most adult femoral and tibial nailing procedures while allowing controlled insertion and retrieval under fluoroscopic guidance. The diameter and straight configuration are selected to interface with cannulated instruments and implants sized for a 5.0 mm guide, ensuring consistent alignment and instrument tracking.

Instrument Specifications
