Guide Pin for Intramedullary nail 3.0mm, 35cm

Clinical Application

This guide pin is used to establish and maintain the intramedullary canal trajectory during nailing procedures of long bones. It serves as the initial guidewire for reamers, drills, and cannulated nails, enabling controlled passage of instrumentation and implants across fracture sites. Typical applications include tibial, femoral and humeral intramedullary fixation where a 3.0 mm guide is indicated.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's 35 cm length provides sufficient working reach for most long-bone nailing procedures while the 3.0 mm shaft diameter balances axial stiffness with minimal canal occupancy. The single-shaft, slender geometry facilitates centering within the medullary canal, improves tactile feedback during advancement, and reduces interference with cannulated instruments that ride over the pin.
