The Elastic Nails – 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm & 4mm, Titanium Grade 5 – 30 Pieces is a versatile orthopedic fixation system designed for procedures requiring flexible intramedullary nail fixation. Elastic nails, also commonly referred to as elastic stable intramedullary nails (ESIN) or titanium elastic nails in appropriate systems, are used by orthopedic surgeons for selected fracture stabilization procedures.

This comprehensive set provides six different nail diameters—1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, and 4.0mm—allowing the surgeon to select an appropriate size according to the patient’s anatomy, bone dimensions, fracture characteristics, and surgical technique. The availability of multiple diameters in one set provides flexibility for treating patients with different skeletal sizes and clinical requirements.

The elastic nail concept uses the controlled flexibility of the implant to provide stabilization within the medullary canal. When appropriately selected and positioned, the nails can provide a balanced fixation construct while maintaining alignment of suitable fracture patterns. The specific number of nails, diameter, length, insertion site, and configuration are determined by the surgeon according to the applicable surgical technique.

Manufactured from Titanium Grade 5, the nails offer a combination of mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and relatively low density. Titanium alloys are widely used in orthopedic implant applications because of their established material characteristics. The exact mechanical and material specifications should always be verified against the manufacturer’s technical documentation before clinical use.

Elastic intramedullary nails may be used in selected pediatric and adolescent fracture fixation procedures, as well as other clinically appropriate applications depending on the specific nail design and regulatory indication. They can be particularly useful where flexible intramedullary stabilization is preferred over other fixation methods. Appropriate patient selection is essential, and the implant should only be used for indications supported by the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable clinical standards.

The 30-piece configuration provides a convenient selection of elastic nail sizes in a single set. This can help orthopedic departments, pediatric trauma centers, hospitals, surgical clinics, and medical distributors maintain a practical inventory of flexible intramedullary fixation implants.

Before implantation, the surgeon should verify nail dimensions, length, diameter, material, compatibility with the intended procedure, and the availability of appropriate insertion and extraction instruments. Nail preparation, bending, insertion, and removal should follow the applicable surgical technique and manufacturer recommendations.

Because these are implantable components, they must be handled according to appropriate medical-device protocols. Sterility depends on the supplied packaging and product configuration. If supplied non-sterile, validated sterilization procedures must be followed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable institutional requirements.

FAQs

1. What are elastic nails?

Elastic nails are flexible intramedullary fixation implants designed to stabilize selected fractures by positioning within the medullary canal.

2. What sizes are included?

The set includes 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, and 4.0mm diameter nails.

3. What material are these elastic nails made from?

They are specified as Titanium Grade 5, a titanium alloy commonly used in orthopedic implant applications.

4. How many pieces are included?

The complete set contains 30 elastic nails.

5. Are elastic nails suitable for children?

Elastic intramedullary nails are commonly used for selected pediatric and adolescent fracture indications, but suitability depends on the patient’s age, anatomy, fracture type, and implant system. A qualified orthopedic surgeon must determine appropriateness.

6. Can all six diameters be used for the same procedure?

No. The appropriate diameter and number of nails depend on the patient’s anatomy, bone size, fracture characteristics, and the applicable surgical technique.

7. Are these nails reusable?

No. Implantable elastic nails should be used according to the manufacturer’s intended-use instructions and applicable medical-device requirements.

8. Are the nails supplied sterile?

Sterility depends on the supplied product configuration and packaging. Always verify the manufacturer’s sterility status and processing instructions before clinical use.
