About HammerLock Intramedullary Nitinol Fixation System (Prod 10735)
HammerLock™ Intramedullary Nitinol Fixation System for use in the correction of hammertoes. The HammerLock™ stabilizes the proximal joint of the toe without the need for exposed wires. Formed out of the biocompatible shape memory alloy Nitinol, the HammerLock™ is designed to change shape when exposed to body heat. After being placed internally across the joint in its closed, spear-like shape, the implant morphs as it warms to normal limb temperature to provide strong fixation of the proximal joint of the toe. Its spring-like behavior then compresses the joint long-term resulting in an optimal environment for healing.Previously available from BioMedical Enterprises Inc. (BME).
