PEEK Nail Cannulated 4.0mm drill. The Impact PEEK Union Nail System is indicated for maintenance of alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodeses or bone grafts in the presence of appropriate additional immobilization (e.g. rigid fixation implants, cast, brace). The Impact PEEK Union Nail System contains 3.0mm - 4.5mm diameter, 50mm long pins manufactured from HA Enhanced PEEK (ASTM F2026). The implants are designed with strategically placed ridges to improve initial stability and cannulated structure to simplify insertion over a k-wire. Additionally, it was designed to include tantalum pins to ensure optimal imaging visibility for device placement accuracy.
A shaft of metal intended to be mounted into an appropriate surgical power tool (e.g., a pneumatic reamer or drilling system handpiece with appropriate torque capacity) and rotated to bore into hard/tough tissues (e.g., bone, cartilage) to clear a channel of the same dimension as the diameter of the shaft. This drill is cannulated, having a hollow centre, and is typically flexible so that it can be fed over a guiding pin that has been placed into the correct position prior to operation. This device is typically used in orthopaedic surgery for clearing of the intramedullary channel prior to the insertion of a prosthetic device. This is a reusable device.
