Long bone fracture management
Locked intramedullary nail
Surg'X presents the first angle-stable, anatomical titanium veterinary locked nail for the treatment of long bone fractures in small animals.
A complete range for cats and dogs
A complete range of nails to suit all sizes of dogs and cats:
Nails: Ø 3.5 / 4 / 5 (short/long) / 6 / 8mm
Screws: Ø 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0 / 3.5
Nails: Ø 3.5 / 4 / 5 (short/long) / 6 / 8mm
Screws: Ø 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0 / 3.5
Instrument sets
The system includes two separate instrument sets:
- "Cats & Small Dogs" set, for 3.5 / 4 / 5 nails (70 - 150mm length)
- “Medium & Large Dogs" set, for 5 / 6 / 8 nails (134 - 234mm length)
- "Cats & Small Dogs" set, for 3.5 / 4 / 5 nails (70 - 150mm length)
- “Medium & Large Dogs" set, for 5 / 6 / 8 nails (134 - 234mm length)
Implant sets
Two distinct implant sets:
- Cats and small dogs (3.5 / 4.0 / 5.0 locked intramedullary nail)
- Medium & large dogs (5.0 / 6.0 / 8.0 locked intramedullary nail)
- Cats and small dogs (3.5 / 4.0 / 5.0 locked intramedullary nail)
- Medium & large dogs (5.0 / 6.0 / 8.0 locked intramedullary nail)
Locked nails are the gold standard in human long-bone traumatology, with numerous biological and mechanical advantages over plates. Their intramedullary insertion is particularly suited to minimally invasive approaches and preserves soft tissue and periosteal vascularization. The mechanical strength of a locked nail fixation in terms of compression, flexion and torsion is far superior to that of a locked plate. Its use is particularly relevant in the treatment of comminuted fractures.
