Driver/ Ext. for Intramedullary Nails 3.2mm

Clinical Application

This driver extension is intended to engage intramedullary nails with a 3.2 mm drive interface to facilitate insertion, controlled seating and removal during fracture fixation of long bones (e.g., femur, tibia, humerus). The extension provides working length and tactile control for percutaneous and open techniques where direct access to the nail head is limited. It is used by orthopedic surgeons in trauma, reconstructive and elective fixation procedures in hospital operating rooms and ambulatory surgery centers.

Design & Configuration

The straight extension shaft configuration delivers axial torque from the surgeon’s hand or a compatible driver to the nail while increasing working distance from the entry site. A dedicated 3.2 mm engagement interface ensures repeatable seating with minimal play, improving control during final advancement and removal. The extension’s low-profile shaft facilitates percutaneous insertion and helps maintain alignment during implantation without obstructing fluoroscopic visualization.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Driver / extension for intramedullary nails
• Engagement size: 3.2 mm
• Configuration: Straight extension shaft designed to transmit axial torque
• Typical use: Nail insertion, seating, alignment, and extraction in long-bone fixation

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and dimensional stability under repeated sterilization. Precision machining of the engagement interface provides consistent fit to the nail drive recess and helps minimize wear over repeated clinical use. Reusable construction supports routine decontamination and sterilization workflows used in sterile processing departments.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
