Guide Pin for Intramedullary nail 5.0mm, 60cm

Clinical Application

This guide pin is used to establish and maintain the intramedullary alignment channel during nailing procedures. It provides a stable central track for sequential reamers, drills, and the final intramedullary nail during fixation of long‑bone fractures (for example femur, tibia, and humerus). The 5.0 mm shaft diameter is intended for use with implant systems and instrumentation that accept a 5.0 mm guide element, and the 60 cm length provides reach for proximal and diaphyseal access in standard adult cases.

Design & Configuration

The straight, single‑shaft geometry delivers axial rigidity needed to maintain reduction while reaming and implanting the nail. A 5.0 mm diameter balances bending stiffness with ease of percutaneous insertion; the 60 cm overall length permits access to most long‑bone canals without excessive external protrusion. A smooth, precision ground shaft reduces soft‑tissue drag and facilitates controlled advancement and withdrawal under fluoroscopic guidance.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Guide pin for intramedullary procedures
• Diameter: 5.0 mm
• Length: 60 cm
• Configuration: Straight single‑shaft design
• Typical use: Establishing central guide channel for reaming and nail insertion
• Material: Stainless steel construction
• Reusable: Yes, designed for repeated sterilization and clinical use

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical‑grade stainless steel with a precision‑ground, polished finish to minimize tissue resistance and resist corrosion during repeated sterilization cycles. The shaft geometry and surface finish are selected to provide consistent tactile feedback during passage and to reduce the chance of nicking or hang‑up during reaming.

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.
