Guide Pin for Intramedullary nail 3.5mm, 35cm

Clinical Application

Used to establish and maintain an intramedullary guide track during fixation of long-bone and small-bone fractures. The pin is inserted across the entry point and advanced through the medullary canal to provide a stable pathway for cannulated reamers, guide sleeves and intramedullary implants. Common clinical roles include initial canal localization, provisional alignment and depth referencing for implant placement in procedures where a 3.5 mm guide element is indicated.

Design & Configuration

The uniform 3.5 mm diameter over the 35 cm length provides a balance of axial stiffness and minimal canal occupation, enabling control of alignment while minimizing cortical disruption. Single-piece construction reduces the risk of component separation and improves resistance to bending during insertion and manipulation. The length accommodates access to more proximal and distal fixation sites without the need for extensions in many small-bone and select long-bone applications.
