Lloyd Nail Impactor and Extractor 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in orthopedic procedures involving intramedullary nails, this combined impactor/extractor is used to seat and secure nails during insertion and to engage the proximal nail element for controlled removal. It provides a single handheld instrument for impaction during nail placement and for extracting or dislodging nails or nail fragments during revision or removal procedures in extremity trauma and fracture fixation.

Design & Configuration

The straight, 20 cm length balances reach and control for most extremity intramedullary procedures, allowing the surgeon to transfer mallet energy to the nail head while maintaining tactile feedback. The instrument integrates a flat impactor face to distribute strike force and an extractor tip configured to engage the nail's proximal geometry, minimizing slippage during extraction. This combined configuration reduces instrument exchanges and streamlines workflow in the operating room.
