The Meta-Fix Nailing System is a percutaneous nailing system for the treatment of metacarpal and metatarsal fractures. This innovative nail is introduced into the medullary cavity in its reduced diameter of 2.5mm, and expands to up to 4.5mm. The nail's unique expandability enables immediate and homogenous fixation along the entire length of the nail.
FEATURES
SUPERIOR FIXATION
Minimally invasive closed reduction and intramedullary fixation.
Self locking nail: maintains length and controls rotation.
Immediate and homogenous fixation allowing early function.
META-FIX EXPANSION
MINIMALLY INVASIVE
Fracture stabilization is accomplished with minimal surgical trauma.
No buried hardware beneath the skin.
No trauma to tendons of soft tissues.
PATIENT BENEFITS
Reduced risk of infection.
Reduced healing time.
Immediate stable fixation.
INSTRUMENTATION
Disposable.
Ready for immediate use: nail supplied sterile, mounted on disposable insertion assembly pre-filled with saline.
Removal kit: mini slide hammer for easy removal.
Reduced inventory as nail expanability covers a range of canal diameters.
