Titanium Elastic Nail

OrthoLimited Titanium Elastic Nail

Introduction

Titanium Elastic Nail (TEN) is a type of orthopedic implant used for the fixation of long bone fractures in children. The TEN system consists of one or two titanium nails that are flexible and elastic, allowing for the preservation of the growth plate while providing stable fixation of the bone. The nails are inserted through small incisions in the skin and are then guided through the bone using specialized instruments.

Once in place, the nails provide support to the bone as it heals. The TEN system is designed to allow for early mobilization and a faster recovery time compared to traditional methods of fracture fixation.

Titanium Elastic Nail (TENS Nail) Features and Benefits:

Nail tip

1. Allows easy nail insertion and sliding along the medullary canal.

2. Height of the tip guarantees correct relation to the medullary cavity.

3. Facilitates nail manipulation for fracture reduction.

Nail diameters

1. Six nail diameters for all indications.

2. Available in titanium and stainless steel.

3. Ti alloy implants combine excellent mechanical stability with elastic properties.

4. Stainless steel implants for higher mechanical requirements.

Nail marking

1. Allows direct visual control of the alignment of the nail tip in the medullary canal reducing exposure to the image intensifier

TEN end caps

1. Two sizes of end caps to cover all nail diameters.

2. Sharp self-cutting thread for proper fixation in bone.

3. Provide additional axial stability in unstable situation.

4. Reduce the risk of soft-tissue irritation.

5. Facilitate implant removal.
