Elasticity
“Fluted end” design
Cephalic screw anti-rotation and anti-migration
Dynamic compression of the fracture
About
The intramedullary SuperNail GT is used for pertrochanteric, intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric femoral fractures.
The Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V guarantees high elasticity while the “fluted end” design of the distal extremity facilitates the introduction into the medullary canal. The lateral sliding of the cephalic screw into the nail during the axial loads allows a dynamic compression of the fracture, stimulating the healing.
