Freedom Nail (Prod 12193)






About Freedom Nail (Prod 12193)

FlexFix Freedom Nail presents an opportunity to have the advantages of minimally invasive techniques with length stable fixation but without the problems seen by rigid nails. By introducing an initially flexible nail that then becomes rigid in the bone, the surgeon can now use off axis entry points to fix long bone fractures. For example, in the humerus, these entry points can avoid the problems of rotator cuff pain with antegrade insertion and entry point fracture with retrograde insertion. Moreover, the nail is fully removable after the fracture is healed or if there is a problem with infection. Two patents for this company cover, among other aspects, rigid-to-flexible-to-rigid fracture fixation, composite structures, deforming instruments used to change the shape of the implant, methods of implantation, and guide wire arrangements.
