HELICAL BLADE FOR NEW GAM NAIL
- Materials used for helical blade are 316L stainless steel and titanium.
- 12.2mm Helical blade is used in PFN A2 nails (new gam nails)
- 10.5mm helical blade is used in humerus nails. The helical blade provides improved resistance to varus collapse and rotational control of the medial fracture segment compared to single screw fixation.
- Use of the helical blade results in reduced bone removal versus use of a traditional hip screw.
- These helical blade features are especially advantageous in osteoporotic fracture fixation.
- The innovative helical blade design was proven to provide superior resistance to migration and subsequent cut-out failure.
