Clinical Application
Used to establish, maintain and verify the intramedullary trajectory during fixation procedures that employ 3.5 mm cannulated nails and instruments. The guide pin serves as a central runway for cannulated drills, reamers and implants, and is used under fluoroscopic control to orient and advance intramedullary implants while minimizing soft-tissue disruption.
Design & Configuration
The straight, rigid shaft and extended 60 cm length provide sufficient reach for most long-bone procedures while maintaining tactile feedback during advancement. The nominal 3.5 mm system designation indicates compatibility with cannulated 3.5 mm nails and associated instrumentation, ensuring the pin functions as a stable guide for over-the-pin reamers, drill sleeves and implant insertion. The geometry supports precise control of depth and alignment when used with image guidance.
