Advanced nail design
Stryker Orthopedic Modeling and Analytics (SOMA) designed1
- Straight Nail design allows for alignment of the epiphyseal fragment with the diaphysis and gives structural support to the humeral head fragment8
- Proximal screw trajectories are designed to aim for dense bone to reduce the potential of displacement of the humeral head2,4
- Diameters defined through the SOMA database cover a wide range of intramedullary canal diameters in the analyzed population1
Active intraoperative compression
- Up to 6mm of controlled compression for long nails
- Designed to allow for a more controlled reduction of the fragments when compared to the traditional backslapping/backstroke method
Putting more options in your hands
- Hybrid locking configuration designed for fixation of varying fracture patterns
Stability when and where you need it
Advanced Locking Screws
- Designed to provide increased axial fracture stability in any 4mm round locking hole when the surgeon chooses.6,7
PEEK insert
- Designed to reduce potential for screw backout with locking screw or advanced locking screw in proximal holes9
Washers
- Designed to increase surface area while reducing screw head prominence
- Designed to improve bone fragment compression through increased surface area
Instrumentation made easy
Integrated instrument platform
- One core basic tray is used for all T2 Alpha and Gamma4 indications, improving platform consistency and ease of use.
Guided targeters
- Targeters available for every hole except the distal lateral to medial hole
- Distal targeting may potentially reduce radiation exposure and the time required for distal screw placement compared to perfect circles technique, as demonstrated in a comparable femur procedure5
Unique instrumentation
- Nail Height Stop: facilitates precise nail depth placement, while reducing the risk of nail protrusion through the proximal humerus.
- Cuff Spreading Device: designed to reduce the potential for rotator cuff damage
