Fixion Dual IL

            


The Fixion Dual IL (Interlocking) Tibial Nail combines interlocking screw holes for accommodating interlocking screws at the proximal and distal ends of the nail, and a unique ability to be expanded, providing optimal contact with the medullary canal.

FEATURES

• Expanded within the medullary canal with saline solution.
  
  
• Inserted in a reduced diameter of 8.5mm.
  
  
• Adapts itself to the contours of the medullary canal (hour-glass shape).
  
  
• Fixation is achieved along the entire length of the nail. Perfect positioning at fracture site.
  
  
• Option of proximal and distal fixation points provides a solution for additional indications.
  
  
• Minimally invasive procedure.
  
  
• As the nail adapts to the shape and diameter of the intramedullary canal, a homogeneous fixation of the fracture is achieved and there are no transverse movements at the fracture site.
  
  
• Immediate axial load transfer between the fracture fragments contributes to faster callus formation.
  
  
• Reduced inventory, as expansion enables the covering of a range of medullary canal diameters.
   

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

• Nail is supplied sterile, in a reduced diameter configuration.
  
  
• Nail is inserted utilizing the handle.
  
  
• Once in position, the nail is expanded to its intended diameter through inflation with saline solution, utilizing the pump.
  
  
• Interlocking screws are inserted using the handle and provided instrumentation.
  
  
• Excellent fixation is achieved through the attachment of the four longitudinal bars of the nail to the inner wall of the medullary cavity and by means of the interlocking screws.
   

INDICATIONS

• Acute fractures, even of short distal or proximal tibial fragments.
  
  
• Osteotomy.
  
  
• Long bone reconstruction following tumor resection and grafting and prophylactic nailing of impending pathological fractures.
  
  
• Revision procedures where other treatments and devices have failed.
  
  
• Nonunions and malunions.
  
  
• Pathological fractures.
  

ORDERING INFORMATION
Reduced inventory, as nail expandability covers a range of canal diameters.
