Nail Extracting Hook shaft 42cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is engineered to engage and extract intramedullary nails and nail fragments during orthopedic implant removal and revision procedures. The long shaft provides the reach needed to access nails seated deep within the medullary canal of long bones (for example femur, tibia, and humerus) through a small incision or extraction portal. It is used in trauma and revision cases where secure purchase on the distal or proximal end (or eye) of a nail is required to apply controlled longitudinal traction and removal without excessive soft‑tissue dissection.

Design & Configuration

The extended 42 cm shaft geometry offers deep access from the extraction site to the implant tip while maintaining a low profile for percutaneous passage. The hook tip is shaped to obtain reliable purchase on the nail end, nail eye, or protruding fragment; this allows the surgeon to translate axial traction forces directly to the implant with minimal rotational play. A slender, rigid shaft balances tactile feedback with the stiffness necessary to transmit extraction force, enabling controlled, incremental removal maneuvers and minimizing additional cortical or soft‑tissue trauma.
