  • Descripción del producto
    Synthes Inserter for Titanium Elastic Nails; The Inserter for Titanium Elastic Nails (TEN) is intended for fixation of diaphyseal fractures where the canal is narrow or flexibility of the implant is paramount. This includes: lower extremity fractures in pediatric and small-statured patients and upper extremity fractures in patients. || This system is also intended to treat metaphyseal and episphyseal fractures, such as radial neck fractures, and is intended for fixation of small long bones, such as carpal and tarsal bones. In pediatric applications, the flexibility of the elastic nail allows it to be inserted at a point which avoids disruption of the bone growth plate.
